Corporate Investment And Analyst Pressure, Sébastien Michenaud Oct 2007

Corporate Investment And Analyst Pressure, Sébastien Michenaud

Sébastien Michenaud

This paper empirically investigates whether executives alter capital budgeting decisions to meet or beat analysts' earnings per share (EPS) consensus forecasts. I find that (i) firms reduce investment when analyst pressure to increase EPS is high and that (ii) firms increase their likelihood of meeting or beating annual or quarterly analysts' EPS consensus forecasts by reducing investment. Investment has a direct impact on EPS through depreciation expenses and collateral costs. The observed reduction in investment to meet forecast targets occurs primarily within firms with better investment opportunities, better governance, high CEO compensation, and high levels of opacity.

Tracking Performance: When Less Is More, Kathy Paulson Gjerde, Hughes S. Dec 2006

Tracking Performance: When Less Is More, Kathy Paulson Gjerde, Hughes S.

Kathy A. Paulson Gjerde

With or without a balanced scorecard, it is easy for managers to become inundated with metrics and measures. In this article, we first highlight the differences between lagging and leading measures.
