is the profit forecast of securities companies reliable?
In recent years, with the acceleration of institutionalization, the importance of studying and judging the industry boom trend has obviously exceeded the general trend, and the individual stock profit forecast issued by the Securities Research Institute has attracted more and more attention. But whether these profit forecasts are really accurate, many people in the industry have expressed their views recently.
A person from an institution said that since 2019, boom investment focusing on high profit growth expectations has achieved significant excess returns. It has been impacted by the epidemic since 2020, which has passively accelerated the switching rhythm of market profit expectations. Recent market performance reflects that some forward-looking investors begin to price more long-term profit expectations. However, from the A-share profit forecast since the data are available, most industries predict that the hit rate of industry profits in the next two years is less than 50%, “too fast profit expectation switching will also bring more risks to boom investment.”
By calculating the historical data of the past ten years, the person believes that institutions often have a high accuracy in short-term forecasts. For example, after the release of the third quarterly report, the probability that the profit of the current year will fall within double the standard deviation is almost 100%.
However, with the extension of time, only about half of the profit forecasts can fall within double the standard deviation when predicting the profit growth in one year; If the time is extended to two years, this hit rate will only fall in the consumption and real estate chain industry with exceptionally stable profit growth.
“Therefore, on the whole, from the perspective of stretching to one year or even longer, too fast profit expectation switching will often bring more risks to boom investment.” The person said.
More authoritative data show that in terms of analysts’ profit forecasts for Shanghai stock exchange companies in 2020, among the 633 companies with profit forecasts, the average deviation between the profit forecast and the actual deviation at the beginning of the year exceeded 70%, and the average deviation between the profit forecast and the actual deviation in the middle of the year was nearly 50%. Until the dust of the results was settled at the end of the year, the relevant deviation value was reduced to less than 30%.
