Resumo

Objetivo: examinar a influência do enforcement fiscal no país na relação entre a surpresa na despesa fiscal e a acurácia da previsão de lucros dos analistas financeiros.
Método: a partir de dados de uma amostra constituída por 4.775 empresas de 35 países, no período de 2001 a 2019, fez-se uso de estatística descritiva, análise de correlação e testes de regressão por mínimos quadrados ordinários.
Resultados: verificou-se que, sistematicamente, os analistas financeiros emitem previsões de lucros otimistas e observou-se que a surpresa na despesa fiscal é incrementalmente relevante para a surpresa nos lucros ao explicar os erros futuros dos analistas, e que esses intermediários de informações não incorporam de forma eficiente as informações fiscais ao emitir suas expectativas de lucros. Confirmou-se ainda que, em ambientes de maior enforcement fiscal, os analistas utilizam as informações fiscais de forma mais eficiente e melhoram a acurácia da previsão dos lucros, no entanto, ao excluir da amostra as empresas norte-americanas os resultados se tornaram insignificantes.
Contribuição: esses achados destacam a importância do enforcement fiscal e das informações fiscais na formação das expectativas dos analistas financeiros sobre o desempenho futuro, provendo maior eficiência ao mercado de capitais.
