AI-POWERED FINANCIAL FORECASTING
Unlock Unprecedented Stock Return Predictability with Interpretable Deep Learning
Our new Consensus-Bottleneck Asset Pricing Model (CB-APM) leverages advanced deep learning to not only predict future stock risk premiums with state-of-the-art accuracy but also provides a transparent, economically grounded understanding of how analyst consensus shapes asset prices. Moving beyond 'black-box' models, CB-APM offers clear insights into belief aggregation and its impact on return dynamics, enhancing both performance and trust in financial AI.
Executive Impact & Key Findings
CB-APM sets new benchmarks in financial forecasting by delivering superior predictive power and deep economic insights, ensuring your investment strategies are both data-driven and transparent.

10.46%
Out-of-sample R² for Annual Stock Returns
The CB-APM model achieves a remarkable 10.46% out-of-sample R² for annual stock returns, representing a 37% improvement over standard deep learning benchmarks. This significant gain highlights its superior long-horizon predictability and robustness across diverse market conditions.
24.21%
Average R² in Approximating Analyst Consensus
Simultaneously, CB-APM achieves an average 24.21% R² in approximating analyst consensus variables. This dual achievement demonstrates its ability to accurately reconstruct and interpret analyst beliefs, anchoring predictions to persistent, macro-fundamental drivers and enhancing both statistical fit and economic value.
2.34%
Max Monthly High-Minus-Low Return Spread (λ≥0.3)
Portfolio analyses reveal strong monotonic payoff structures, with high-minus-low spreads approaching 2.34% per month for regularized specifications. This translates predictive accuracy into economically meaningful, risk-adjusted returns and stable long-short performance.
Understanding Belief Aggregation and Risk Premia
CB-APM’s architecture provides transparent insights into how analyst consensus shapes risk premia. By explicitly modeling analysts' expectations as a latent mediator between firm characteristics and returns, the model reveals that sentiment-oriented variables like Analyst Optimism load positively and persistently on expected returns. Conversely, variables reflecting recommendation changes often load negatively, suggesting short-lived overreaction that subsequently reverses. This structured interpretability allows researchers to assess meaningful risk factors versus spurious correlations, fostering trust in AI-driven financial insights.
