Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

How does the SECs plan to end the requirement for quarterly reporting strike folks?

Advocates for personal investors are alarmed. Their claims of it being easier to hide trouble ring true to me, as does their claims that the wealthy have resources to keep aware of issues that the average investor doesnt.

The libertarian Cato Institute has said that Trump and his SEC appointed leaders rationale for the change doesnt hold water.

I would be more concerned about the impact on the stock market if the communist successfully implement a wealth tax.

Having been responsible for SEC reporting as a consultant and auditor at PWC, and in charge of domestic reporting and compliance for a publically traded company I certainly have some concerns. Quarterly reporting though always had a heavy lean towards guidance (which drives stock prices). On the audit side most of the work on a monthly and quarterly basis was still with the focus towards year end, but we still had to pause once the books were closed and get the filings ready. I could see where that would be beneficial to allow the teams to continue to focus on the books instead of pausing to work on reporting. I would imagine most companies will still have quarterly metrics, KPIs etc. etc.

The voluntary notion of the reporting frequency is interesting, it'll be interesting to see which companies and industries prefer to mainain the current quarterly requirement and those that opt out.

I'm curious to see how analysts adjust. They still need industry data to be able to report, how to they maintain trust and accuracy?

Time to have some beers with my accounting and analyst friends to see what their thoughts are.
