President Trump Calls For Companies To Report Earnings Every Six Months
Sorry, Wall Street
A push to relax the requirement for publicly traded companies to report earnings every quarter could reshape the American economy.
The Big Picture: Public companies in the US have been reporting earnings quarterly since 1970. Europe and the UK dropped the requirement roughly a decade ago, though most firms there still report — proof that, despite the headaches, investor culture leans toward frequent transparency.
Behind The Curtain: Stepping off the hamster wheel of quarterly earnings reports could benefit both companies and customers.
Last week, the Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE) announced that it plans to petition the SEC to change the reporting timeline from four times a year to twice a year.
The change would apply to all US exchanges, not just LTSE, which hosts a handful of long-term-focused firms.
The SEC seems open to it, and the push got a major boost yesterday when Donald Trump voiced support — echoing a stance from his first term.
Analysis: Advocates for increasing the time between earnings reports — like JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon and Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett — argue that quarterly reporting is costly, time-consuming, and pressures companies to hit projections (sometimes prompting creative accounting to keep their stock from dipping). Detractors, ranging from institutional investors to retail traders, counter that quarterly reports provide the transparency they need to gauge a firm’s trajectory and make timely trades.
Still, expect the SEC to focus on the cold, hard numbers: today, there are about 3,700 public companies in the US — 17% fewer than just three years ago and roughly half the number at the 1997 peak.
Next Report: If quarterly reports give way to semiannual updates, companies may be willing to spend more on R&D, knowing they’ll have extra time to balance out sunk costs before facing Wall Street’s scrutiny.
