Description:
This study shows that analysts generate firm-specific information rather than market-wide information. While previous studies just report the positive relationship between stock price synchronicity and analyst coverage, we newly suggest that the positive relation can be attributed to the interaction between analyst coverage and firm performance cyclicality. After controlling for the interaction effect between the analyst coverage and cyclicality, synchronicity rather decreases with the analyst coverage. Under the high analyst forecast dispersion, both effects lessen, namely, we observe the decreasing effect on synchronicity from increasing analyst coverage and the increasing effect from the interaction between analyst coverage and cyclicality
