Abstract

(VF)Cet article mesure l’impact de l’IFRS 8 sur la qualité de l’environnement informationnel des analystes financiers. Sur la base d’un échantillon construit à partir des 250 plus grosses capitalisations boursières d’Euronext Paris, nous constatons que l’accroissement du nombre de segments avec l’IFRS 8 s’accompagne d’une moindre dégradation des erreurs de prévisions de bénéfice par action. En revanche, en situation de réduction du nombre de secteurs opérationnels, nous observons une détérioration du consensus. Ces résultats ne valident donc la conclusion de l’IASB sur l’amélioration de la capacité de prévisions liée à l’IFRS 8 qu’en situation d’accroissement du nombre de segments reportés. (VA) This article aims to assess the quality change of the financial analysts’ information environment with IFRS 8. Based on a sample of the 250 largest market capitalisations quoted on Euronext Paris, we observe that the decrease of the forecast accuracy is lower for firms increasing the number of operating segments with IFRS 8. However, a reduction in the number of segments decreases the consensus. Finally, our research only supports the outcome of IASB on the improvement of users’ ability to predict future results with IFRS 8 for firms with an increasing segment disaggregation.
