about the lecture:
based on the limited attention hypothesis, this lecture uses analysts' common coverage (called affiliated companies) to measure the relevance of companies, and examines the momentum spillover effect between affiliated companies. the study found that the rate of return of related companies can positively predict the rate of return of the focus company in the next 1-12 months, and the long-short investment portfolio based on the momentum factor of the related company can obtain 10% to 12% of the annualized return per month. in the cross-sectional regression, the momentum spillover effect of related companies is stronger than the momentum spillover effect of industries and regions. after controlling the momentum effect of related companies, the momentum spillover effects of industries and regions are significantly weakened or even no longer significant. further analysis shows that the momentum spillover effect of affiliated companies is stronger when more analysts jointly cover it, and this momentum spillover effect is caused by the slow behavior of analysts and investors due to the limited attention of analysts and investors.
