It depends on the suffix. Try perf record -e branch-misses:p

PEBS is known to be precise, but not accurate. That is, the
instruction pointed to by the PMU interrupt is not necessarily the
same as the one that triggered the event. But hopefully there is a
fixed relationship between the two. For eg: if the skid was constant,
the tools can correct them.
