New Constructs' 'Novel Database' Shown in HBS & MIT Sloan Paper to Correct Market Inefficiencies and Generate Alpha

“The implications of these findings are potentially far-reaching for investors and researchers.”
– page 31, 2nd paragraph, 1st sentence

In “Core Earnings: New Data and Evidence”, Ethan Rouen and Charles C.Y. Wang of Harvard Business School (HBS) and Eric So of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management use our “novel database” of earnings adjustments to reveal market inefficiencies and show investors how to:

  • Measure & predict earnings more accurately
  • Lower risks of using misleading data from traditional providers
  • Generate alpha ​

“…this is the most comprehensive dataset that captures what a fundamental analyst would be likely to identify as transitory or non-operating earnings items...”
 –
page 9, 2nd paragraph, 2nd sentence

Only our research utilizes the superior data and earnings adjustments featured by the paper.

This paper shows how our superior data and research helps investors:

  • Pick better stocks
  • Avoid losses from using other firms’ data
  • Build better cash flow & valuation models
  • Exploit market inefficiencies
  • Fulfill fiduciary duties ​

Pick better stocks:

Trading strategies that exploit cross-sectional differences in firms’ transitory earnings produce abnormal returns of 7-to-10% per year.” – Abstract, 4th sentence

Avoid losses from using other firms’ data:

“…many of the income-statement-relevant quantitative disclosures collected by NC do not appear to be easily identifiable in Compustat…” – page 13, last paragraph, 1st sentence

Build better models:

“Core Earnings [calculated using New Constructs’ novel dataset] provides predictive power for various measures of one-year-ahead performance…that is incremental to their current-period counterparts.” – page 3-4, 3rd paragraph, 2nd sentence

Exploit market inefficiencies:

Analysts and market participants are slow to impound the implications of transitory earnings.” – page 1, Abstract, 3rd sentence 

Fulfill fiduciary duties:

“An appropriate measure of accounting performance for purposes of forecasting future performance requires detailed analysis of all quantitative performance disclosures detailed in the annual report, including those reported only in the footnotes and in the MD&A.” – page 31, 2nd paragraph, 4th sentence
