报告简介：In this study, we utilize four popular machine learning algorithms to generate earnings forecasts for each firm. We find statistically significant associations between ex post machine forecasting errors and existing public information (input variables) such as Tobin’s Q, accruals, past stock returns, past return volatility and past forecasting errors. These associations are qualitatively and quantitatively similar to those documented in sell-side financial analyst forecasting errors. Our machine forecasting error evidence cannot be explained by agency incentives or over-weighting private information. We provide evidence consistent with an estimation uncertainty explanation.
