摘要

目的在本研究中,我们研究了在中国背景下,公司的环境、社会和治理(ESG)表现对分析师股票推荐和盈利预测准确性的影响。设计/方法/方法我们对 2010 年至 2019 年间发布的分析师研究报告进行了文本分析,并区分了两个不同的分析师类别:"研究结果我们的证据表明,与其他分析师相比,可持续发展分析师更倾向于为ESG表现优异的公司提供积极的股票建议,并提高盈利预测的准确性。我们的补充分析表明,对于毕业于强调环境保护的机构的分析师、被公认为明星分析师的分析师、隶属于以环境、社会和公司治理为导向的经纪公司的分析师以及在样本期后期做出预测的分析师来说,这一发现尤为突出。我们的研究结果进一步表明,可持续发展分析师在面对负面 ESG 事件时会表现出更明显的负面反应。原创性/价值总的来说,本研究的证据揭示了 ESG 因素与分析师行为之间的相互作用,为金融分析师和可持续投资策略提供了宝贵的启示。

ESG performance and analyst recommendations: evidence from sustainability analysts in the Chinese market
PurposeIn this study, we examine the influence of a firm’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance on analysts’ stock recommendations and earnings forecast accuracy in the Chinese context.Design/methodology/approachWe take a textual analysis approach to analyst research reports issued between 2010 and 2019, and differentiate between two distinct analyst categories: “sustainability analysts,” which refer to those more inclined to incorporate ESG information into their analyses, and “other analysts.”FindingsOur evidence indicates that sustainability analysts tend to be significantly more likely than others to provide positive stock recommendations and demonstrate enhanced accuracy in forecasting earnings for companies with superior ESG performance. Our additional analyses reveal that this finding is particularly prominent for analysts who graduated from institutions emphasizing the protection of the environment, those recognized as star analysts, those affiliated with ESG-oriented brokerages, and forecasts made by analysts in the later part of the sample period. Our findings further indicate that sustainability analysts exhibit a more pronounced negative response when confronted with a negative ESG event.Originality/valueIn general, the evidence from this study reveals the interplay between ESG factors and analyst behavior, offering valuable implications for both financial analysts and sustainable investment strategies.
