摘要

We investigated the spillover effects of stock recommendations by studying the impact of changes in analysts’ recommendations on non-rated firms in the same industry. The empirical results suggest that investors use the information embedded in analyst recommendations of a rated firm to value the stock of a non-rated firm in the same industry. The cumulative abnormal return (CAR) of non-rated firms increases when leaders in the industrial sector receive an upgrade in recommendation revisions. The contagious effects of recommendation downgrades have also been documented for peer firms.
