Description:
Sentiment analysis is attracting considerable interest in finance due to its capacity to provide additional insight into opinions and intentions of investors, managers and other stakeholders. A remarkable improvement in predicting corporate financial performance has been achieved when considering the textual sentiment. Previous approaches in this regard have been limited to document-level sentiment analysis of financial texts. However, a more fine-grained aspect-based sentiment analysis is presumably incrementally informative in predicting corporate financial performance because opinions expressed on different aspects of companies can be extracted. Here, we propose to investigate how aspect-based sentiment analysis of firm-related financial texts might predict corporate financial performance. To do this, we combine corporation-expressed, media-expressed, and internet-expressed aspect-based sentiments with quantitative financial information obtained from financial statements and financial markets.
