Former President Trump suggested eliminating quarterly corporate earnings reports in favor of semi-annual ones, citing potential cost savings and a shift towards long-term strategic focus. This idea, requiring SEC approval, echoes similar proposals from Warren Buffett and Jamie Dimon. While proponents argue for increased investor transparency and timely information, Trump's suggestion aligns with practices in the UK and EU, contrasting with China's stricter reporting requirements. Norway's sovereign wealth fund also recently advocated for semi-annual reporting.
