Article Abstract:
Financial analysts' forecast (FAF) error has a negative and a positive relationship with country return and country risk, respectively. Data containing financial analysts' FAF error for 11 nations revealed that financial analysts tend to create more accurate earnings expectations whenever country return is high and country risk is low. On the other hand, financial analysts modify their forecast expectations and confidence to indicate higher degree of uncertainty whenever country return is low and country risk is high.
