Trump Advocates for Semiannual Earnings Reports, Calls to End Quarterly Reporting

In a significant shift for corporate reporting, Donald Trump has renewed his calls for U.S. companies to abandon the traditional quarterly earnings reports in favor of a semiannual reporting cycle. Trump argues that this change would allow executives to focus more effectively on managing their businesses, rather than being preoccupied with quarterly disclosures. The former president has suggested that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should mandate public companies to report their financial results every six months instead. This proposal aims to promote long-term growth and reduce the pressure on corporations to meet short-term performance expectations. Advocates of the change believe that a semiannual reporting system could ultimately benefit companies and lead to a healthier, more stable economy.
