Abstract

I discuss the study by Call, Chen and Tong (2012) and focus on the information environment surrounding analysts. My discussion has two goals. First, I wish to put into perspective the findings of Call et al. (2012). Second, I hope to pave the road for future research on analysts, their cash flow forecasts and sophistication.

Keywords: Analysts, cash flow forecast, sophistication learning, conflicts of interests, accrual anomay, users
