Resumo: Analysts play a preponderant role in asset price formation. Although there is abundant literature on analysts' outputs, such as price targets, few robust analyses are performed on valuation inputs. This paper explores a large sample of analysts’ market risk premium estimates, evaluating whether specific characteristics/incentives influence the parameter used when performing valuation exercises. We use publicly available I/B/E/S price targets to derive the implied market risk premium, obtaining an average of 5.15% for2010-2019. We then employ a multivariate regression analysis and document that analysts providing optimistic earnings forecasts use heftier risk premium estimates, possibly to maintain predetermined price targets.
