<p>Earnings management in Polish listed companies was the subject of only several studies, mainly theoretical, but none of them is related to earnings management to meet analysts’ expectations. The aim of the paper is to detect any signals of earnings management to achieve zero or small positive earnings surprises. The sample comprises 609 observations from years 2012-2014 related to medium size companies listed at Warsaw Stock Exchange. Distribution of scaled annual earnings surprise (difference between realized and forecasted earnings scaled by beginning total assets) is analyzed. It contains unusually high frequency of small positive surprises. If the module of earnings surprise is small it is more probable that the real value was higher than the forecast - meeting or beating the forecast, so small positive earnings surprises are more probable than negative. If the module of earnings surprise is high it is more probable that the forecast of income was higher than the real value - neither meeting nor beating the forecast. Results are not sensitive to the choice of earnings surprise metric.</p>

ABSTRACT This study shows that the recent trajectory of a firm's profits predicts future profitability and stock returns. The predictive information contained in the trend of profitability is not subsumed by the level of profitability, earnings momentum, or other well-known determinants of stock returns. The profit trend also predicts the earnings surprise one quarter later, and analyst forecast errors over the following 12 months, suggesting that sophisticated investors underreact to the information in the profit trend. On the other hand, we find no evidence of investor overreaction, and our results cannot be explained by well-known risk factors. JEL Classifications: G12; G14.
