Magic Markets #242: Defending quarterly reporting
Description
In the US market, companies are required to report quarterly - for now, at least. The latest utterances by President Trump suggest that quarterly reporting is being viewed in a negative light, with the SEC noting that they will be looking at whether reporting should move to align with most of the rest of the world i.e. results every six months.
We don't like this idea. Although there are lots of arguments out there about short-term vs. long-term thinking and all the rest, our preference is always for fresh information and giving investors more to work with.
In this episode, we discussed our views on quarterly reporting and debated some of the associated points.
As always, this podcast is a way to share our ideas with listeners and drive debate. It is for informational purposes only and should not be treated as financial advice.
