Abstract

This study examines the impact of China’s registration-based IPO reform on analyst earnings forecast quality. Using the sample of firms listed on China’s A-share market from 2017 to 2022, we find that after the registration-based IPO reform, the earnings forecast bias and dispersion of analysts who follow the peer non-registered listed firms decrease significantly. Additionally, the analyst earnings forecast quality of non-registered listed firms improves with the degree of risk information, innovative information, and forward-looking information disclosed in the prospectuses of peer-registered listed firms. Mechanism analyses reveal that the reform’s spillover effect stems from improved information disclosure quality among peer non-registered firms. The spillover effect is more pronounced for state-owned enterprises, firms with substantial intangible assets, those in highly competitive sectors, and those located in regions with advanced marketization.
