Topic: Credit Risk Pricing Financial Guidance
Since financial reports would suggest the future profitability of the company. If the suggesting expect
rate of return is much higher than the reality, the stock price of the company will be severely punished.
Therefore, CFOs should be very careful in making any announcement regarding future profitability. To
assess the spread of the company thus becomes very meaningful to tell if the company is reliable or
not.
