dc.description.abstract	This study empirically examines the value of interim earnings in predicting annual earnings. I find that analysts’ annual earnings forecast revisions are positively associated with interim earnings forecast error when the interim earnings are relatively persistent. The change in analysts’ annual earnings forecast dispersion is positively (negatively) associated with interim earnings forecast-error (persistence).	en_CA
