> The Securities and Exchange Commission is preparing a proposal to eliminate the requirement to report earnings quarterly and instead give companies the option to share results twice a year, according to people familiar with the matter.
> The regulator could publish the proposal as soon as next month, the people said. In preparation for the proposal, regulators have been talking to officials at the major exchanges to discuss how they may need to adjust their rules.
> Once the proposal is published, it will be subject to a public comment period. After that period, which typically lasts at least 30 days, the SEC will vote on it. There are no guarantees it will ultimately happen.

Basically there’s no backbone to actually investigate and prosecute fraud nowadays.
So no reason to clog the system with those pesky quarterly reports.
GG everyone.

let’s hope the exchanges mandate quarterly reporting instead, as a listing requirement

Curious why this would make sense / why spend time trying to push it through

Why stop there? Why not also get rid of GAAP and let companies report whatever numbers they want?

Poor executives. Writing those 10-Qs must be so exhausting when they could be spending that time focusing on more important things like stock buybacks.

Lol could just see semi-annual reports then swinging valuations like -80% – +300%.

Listened to them talk about this at a conference. General takeaway was that almost no one actually wants this so most companies will still do quarterly reporting

On one hand if this means I don’t have to sit on a stupid ass earnings call to hear my CEO jerk off into the phone that’s probably a good thing.
On the other hand, when my company crushes an earnings call I know layoffs are coming so it gives me time to prepare.
Idk man calls and puts.

This would probably help this sub because having it twice a year instead of quarterly is going to make stocks even more volatile during earnings

If reporting is optional I will only invest in companies that opt to report.

The only silver lining here. Removing the requirement doesn’t mean that they have to stop. I suppose that the stable companies will just report as normal. Cant wait to see vix hit 90 for the rest of the market.
