Conference Call Transcripts

Conference call transcripts are one of the most important resources used by investors to research stocks and by companies to communicate with investors. Free conference call transcripts on Head Of The Board not only allow companies to communicate with investors, but also to access a much larger secondary audience via journalists, bloggers and inbound links to the transcripts.

Companies present their case to investors on their conference calls. Since the introduction of Reg. FD, companies are not allowed to communicate with investors via non-public or privileged-access channels. As a result, the volume of communication between companies and investors has fallen sharply. The most important forum left for most public companies to "tell their story" to investors is their quarterly conference call. As a result, conference call transcripts are the best way for investors to discover and research new stock ideas and to track the progress of companies they are already invested in.

Conference calls alert investors to key investment issues. The question and answer session at the end of every conference call is an opportunity for analysts to question a company about anything surprising, impressive or concerning.
