If risk aversion and willingness to take on risk are driven by emotions and we as humans are bad at correctly identifying them, the finance profession has a serious challenge at hand—how to reliably identify the individual risk profile of a retail investor or high-net-worth individual. In this series of CFA Institute Research Foundation briefs, we have asked academics and practitioners to summarize the current state of knowledge about risk profiling in different key areas.

This paper empirically investigates the value added by sell-side analyst recommendations on German equities composing the HDAX index from January 2006 through December 2013. Partitioning the equities into five portfolios based on either recommendation consensus level or consensus change, we examine differences in future returns by means of regression analysis. The portfolio of highest rated stocks consistently outperforms the portfolio of lowest rated stocks for both quintile portfolio formation and categorical formation based on absolute cut-offs. Testing several investment strategies, we find monthly abnormal returns of 1.14% and 1.84% for consensus level strategies with quintile portfolio formation and categorical portfolio formation, respectively. In comparison a quintile consensus change strategy yields monthly abnormal returns of 0.56% after controlling for market risk premium, size, book-to-market ratio, and price momentum. Positive abnormal returns are diminished but persist after controlling for transaction costs. Post transaction costs profits amount to 0.48% and 1.02% monthly, for consensus level strategies based on quintile and categorical portfolio formation, respectively.

We show that, consistent with economic incentives, analysts from sell-side firms generally recommend quot;glamourquot; (i.e., positive momentum, high growth, high volume, and relatively expensive) stocks. Naive adherence to these recommendations can be costly, because the level of the consensus recommendation adds value only among stocks with favorable quantitative characteristics (i.e., high value and positive momentum). Among stocks with unfavorable quantitative characteristics, higher consensus recommendations are associated with worse subsequent returns. In contrast, the quarterly change in the consensus recommendation is a robust return predictor that appears to contain information orthogonal to a large range of other predictive variables.

The Efficient Markets Hypothesis beholds that all public information is incorporated in the stock price. Yet economists question to what extent this holds, and these discussions are, among other factors, fuelled by the existence of analyst recommendations. If all information is already incorporated in the stock price, what value can analysts add? A comprehensive study on the German market finds that, indeed, a tangible effect is measured after analysts voice their recommendations; this effect is especially powerful when an analyst changes his recommendation to his previous one. Moreover, this book is the first to research how analyst recommendations have changed over time, whether analysts have better forecasting power during bull or bear markets, and, most importantly, how can an investor profit from this knowledge? An advanced calendar-time strategy has been developed wherein an investor can earn significant abnormal returns by following a momentum strategy in the short-term while simultaneously abiding to a contrarian strategy in the long-term.

'Stock-Market Psychology gives an excellent overview of the state-of-the-art literature on this subject in the fields of economics, psychology and finance. . . a comprehensive overview of the behavior of investors in the stock market. As such, this book is valuable for the classroom. . . Stock-Market Psychology provides researchers with numerous ideas for future research and readers with useful and fun tips without taking away our hopes of ever becoming rich from investing in stocks. What more is there to ask from a book?' - Joost M.E. Pennings, Journal of Economic Psychology 'George Goodman (Adam Smith) once wrote, "you can find out who you are by investing in the stock market, but it will be an expensive lesson". It is far smarter and cheaper to read Wärneryd's book instead. At a time when global stock markets are driven by emotions and passions, and are highly volatile, Chapter Six will tell you why, far better than a hundred analysts' reports.' - Shlomo Maital, TIM-Technion Institute of Management and the Samuel Neaman Institute for Advanced Studies in Science and Technology, Israel The rationale behind how people value and trade stocks is of unparalleled interest to governments, companies and other participants in stock markets. The book focuses on the way in which investors process information and form expectations about future gains. It argues that humans fall short of the perfect information processing required by theory, and that their expectations are based on more than just future company earnings.

There are several noteworthy findings here about the usefulness of analysts' buy recommendations in investment decisions. First, recommendations add more value when they are consistent with other signals than when they are inconsistent. Second, other signals, such as earnings revisions and price momentum, add more value when they are consistent with recommendations than when they are inconsistent. Third, recommendations add more value in down markets than in up markets. Finally, recommendations add more value for small-cap stocks than for large-cap stocks. The implications of these results are that recommendation data are more useful 1) when they are corroborated by other signals; 2) when more judgment is needed to distinguish between “good” and “bad” stocks; and 3) for stocks that are less informationally efficient.
