The Informative Role of the Value Line Investment Survey: Evidence from Stock Highlights

David R. Peterson

Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, 1995, vol. 30, issue 4, 607-618

Abstract: I examine abnormal stock returns associated with “stock highlights” published by the Value Line Investment Survey. At the time of their publication, stock highlights elicit strong positive abnormal returns. They also have positive abnormal returns at the time of the earnings announcement preceding stock highlight publications. Post-earnings announcement drift is present, but is much too small to explain abnormal returns at the time of the publication of stock highlights. Thus, Value Line stock highlights provide useful information to investors. This information is rapidly reflected in stock prices, consistent with market efficiency.
