Algorithms Tell the Earnings Call Story: USD and Supply Chain Headwinds Abate, Sentiment Rebounds

In Q3’22, the sentiment of S&P 500 firms has deteriorated to a level not seen since the IMF Greek Debt Default. Firms’ focus has shifted away from pandemic-related concerns to interest rate-related ones. Financial growth is uneven. The breadth of firms citing profitability growth remains a bright spot yet the number of firms citing bottom-line growth has been mired in an “earnings recession” throughout 2022. Guidance for Q4’22 is far from falling off a cliff.

As Q4’22 season enters its homestretch, S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Quantamental Research team will systematically review the season using exclusively the textual portions of transcripts to measure sentiment, financial growth, guidance and topics of interest using original frameworks that were developed by the research team.

This webinar demonstrates the richness and the intuitiveness of insights that could be surfaced algorithmically from textual data.
