Abstract
⺠Lower accruals quality is associated with greater analyst coverage. ⺠Forecast revisions contain more private information when accruals quality is lower. ⺠The private information generated by analysts improves overall forecast accuracy. ⺠Forecasts are more valuable when accruals provide weaker signals about the future.
