Abstract

This study focuses on the impact of pure management sentiment on short-term stock returns. Using A-share listed companies in China from 2014 to 2023 as the research sample, this study employs the Qwen large language model to analyze textual information from earnings communication conferences and conducts an empirical analysis using the pure management sentiment indicator constructed by stripping out firm fundamentals and stock performance. The results indicate that pure management sentiment significantly boosts short-term stock returns. This positive impact is further strengthened by the quality of interactions and the level of industry competition, and is more evident in private companies and those with smaller market capitalizations. Furthermore, the results show that pure management sentiment influences short-term stock returns by increasing investors’ sentiment.
