Forecasting Profit
Author: Mike MetcalfePublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461522552
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
This book is about managing the task of forecasting profit. It builds a case for using multiple methods, providing examples of each method, and suggesting practical techniques to use in dealing with the issues and problems of accuracy in profit forecasts. All the elements that infringe on profits (costs, sales, budgeting, investment, and loan default) are examined within this framework. In addition to synthesizing the research, Professor Metcalfe has applied his own research work on forecast modeling and judgmental methods. The final result is a practical reference book for making more accurate profit forecasts.

Book Description
A comprehensive collection of the field's most provocative, influential new work Business Forecasting compiles some of the field's important and influential literature into a single, comprehensive reference for forecast modeling and process improvement. It is packed with provocative ideas from forecasting researchers and practitioners, on topics including accuracy metrics, benchmarking, modeling of problem data, and overcoming dysfunctional behaviors. Its coverage includes often-overlooked issues at the forefront of research, such as uncertainty, randomness, and forecastability, as well as emerging areas like data mining for forecasting. The articles present critical analysis of current practices and consideration of new ideas. With a mix of formal, rigorous pieces and brief introductory chapters, the book provides practitioners with a comprehensive examination of the current state of the business forecasting field.

Analyzes the most prominent issues in business forecasting Investigates emerging approaches and new methods of analysis Combines forecasts to improve accuracy Utilizes Forecast Value Added to identify process inefficiency The business environment is evolving, and forecasting methods must evolve alongside it. This compilation delivers an array of new tools and research that can enable more efficient processes and more accurate results.

The Influence of Corporate Risk Exposures on the Accuracy of Earnings Forecasts

Book Description
We examine how corporations' exposures to interest rates, exchange rates, and commodity prices are related to investors' and analysts' expectations about firms' earnings. The results indicate that investors and analysts encounter difficulties estimating the earnings effects of the risk exposures that companies face. Stock returns around earnings announcements are associated with the magnitude of both recent quarter and lagged shocks to interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices, especially for firms with large ex-ante exposures to these risks. Further, although intra-quarter revisions to analysts' forecasts do incorporate information about the earnings effects of the risk shocks, analysts' earnings forecasts do not fully resolve the uncertainty created by recent quarter and lagged shocks. Overall, the results suggest that analysts resolve between 28% and 56% of the total uncertainty created by interest rate, exchange rate, and commodity price shocks (the percentage reduction depends on the types and magnitudes of a given firm's exposures). The results are consistent with arguments that corporate financial risk exposures are not transparent to investors or analysts, and support recent research arguing that firms' hedging strategies consider this source of earnings uncertainty.
