Listen to Conference Calls

Earnings calls, also known as conference calls, are presentations by a company's top management, usually the CEO and CFO, to financial analysts, institutional investors and interested shareholders. The presentation by the CEO and CFO is followed by a question-and-answer session that allows analysts to gain additional information.

Most conference calls are conducted immediately after the company releases its financial results in a press release or an 8-K filing with the SEC. The most recent webcasts or audio of the earnings calls are posted on the company's website, usually on the Investor Relations page. Transcripts of the calls are also found in Factiva and at these investor websites:
