Abstract

The main goal of this article is an attempt to indicate the analysts’ bias in forecasting financial parameters published in Polish over the calendar years 2005 through 2012, in divided into two sub-periods – bull and bear market and years with lower and higher economic growth. The first part of the article assesses the accuracy of analysts’ forecasts. The second part examines the analysts’ tendency of underestimation or overestimation of forecasts. This paper provides evidence that there are statistically significant differences in analysts’ biases between analysts’ forecasts published during bull and bear market - for net profit. And also between analysts’ forecasts from period with lower economic growth and greater economic growth for the following parameters: revenue, EBIT, net profit and net working capital.
