why does the profit forecast deviate greatly?
The annual report quarter of each year is a period when listed companies are intensively subject to market review. For ordinary individual investors, it is indeed difficult to predict the profits of listed companies, but for professional seller research institutions, it is unreasonable to give a profit forecast that is far from the actual situation.
In the data in the following table, there are 20 companies whose annual net profit (lower limit) in 2021 is quite different from the average value of net profit predicted by securities companies before.
Looking back on the previous research reports of securities analysts, it is not uncommon for analysts to be "slapped in the face" because the profit forecast is mostly high and the annual report must be lowered every time.
According to the authoritative data of from the perspective of analysts' profit forecast of Shanghai stock exchange companies in 2020, among the 633 companies with profit forecast, the average deviation between profit forecast and actual deviation at the beginning of the year exceeded 70%, and the average deviation between profit forecast and actual deviation in the middle of the year was nearly 50%. Until the dust of achievement was settled at the end of the year, the relevant deviation value was reduced to less than 30%.
Insiders said that the characteristics of A-share unilateral market are obvious, and the small scale of short selling market directly leads to the lack of sufficient audience for analysts' "sell" reports; At the same time, the current profit model of securities analysts determines that they earn money from commissions of fund companies and other institutions, rather than money from sales research reports, which may be the main reason for the optimistic profit forecast of the above institutions.
