English term or phrase: If investors rated analysts, those taken in by such blatant attempts at manipula
Depressingly, these market-distorting shenanigans are part of a pattern. An earlier study found that public companies commonly enjoy lasting share-price gains from plans that please analysts, such as share buybacks and long-term incentive schemes for executives, even when they fail to follow through on announcements. Another concluded that the further a firm’s profits fall below consensus forecasts, the more favours its managers bestow on analysts—such as recommending them for jobs and even securing club memberships for them—and the lower the likelihood of a further downgrade. If investors rated analysts, those taken in by such blatant attempts at manipulation would surely earn a “sell”.
