The challenge
For the firm, earnings season preparation alone is a three-week process. During this period, the team must research competitors extensively to inform their press releases. This includes analyzing peer distribution growth strategies, digging into competitor announcements, and evaluating the general reception of peer earnings releases. Given the fast-paced nature of earnings season, the Director of Investor Relations was seeking a tool to gather all the necessary research and optimize the process of acquiring insights during earnings season.
“From a research standpoint, particularly other companies’ investor presentations, it’s awesome to not have to go to every company’s website to find the information I need. It’s all aggregated into one place.”
