Wall Street Raises Alarm on Trump Ending Quarterly Earnings

For more than half a century publicly-traded US corporations have reported earnings at quarterly intervals, but during an early-morning wave of social media posts on Monday, President Donald Trump reignited a long-standing debate over the requirement.

Trump is pushing for a six-month reporting schedule as opposed to the current every three-months format. Ending quarterly results in favor of a six-month reporting schedule would “save money, and allow managers to focus on properly running their companies,” Trump said.
