Neglected-Firm Effect

0.01 sec.

A theory stating that publicly-traded companies that analysts do not track or follow closely tend to outperform those receiving a great deal of attention. Analysts sometimes pay less attention to companies because there is limited information available on them. Part of the neglected-firm effect may be explained by the fact that these firms are riskier and therefore have higher returns.
