Abstract

This paper reports the results of a study on the impact of CEO turnover on the accuracy of financial analysts earnings forecasts. Using Value Lines earnings forecasts and a control sample design, the study reveals marginally more accurate earnings forecasts for CEO change firms after CEO turnover. This result may be attributed to the publicity surrounding the CEO replacements.
