Fact
Objective: Empirical analysis of how analysts assess company risk using scenario-based valuations (bullish, bearish, base cases).
Data: Morgan Stanley analysts' reports (2007–2010).
New Metrics: Spread (valuation range) and Tilt (valuation asymmetry) developed to quantify perceived risk.
Key Findings:
-Wider Spread is associated with more volatile and financially unstable firms.
-Tilt indicates valuation biases linked to firm characteristics.
-Spread correlates with future return volatility.
-Tilt relates to future return skewness.
Opinion
Analysts' scenario-based valuations effectively incorporate fundamental risks and provide valuable insights for investors. However, due to potential biases, these valuations should be used as supplementary tools rather than absolute indicators.
Core Sell Point
Analysts' scenario-based valuation estimates reflect company risk, offering useful insights for investment strategy formulation.
