In accordance with the extant corporate disclosure rules and requirements, all U.S. public corporations have to report their balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements once per quarter. President Trump tweets that he now asks the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to investigate the practical implications of switching to a semi-annual corporate disclosure cycle. Specifically, the Trump administration seeks an SEC study of semi-annual income statements instead of quarter-to-quarter financial reports for U.S. public corporations. Several CEOs such as JPMorgan Chase's Jamie Dimon and Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett support this paradigm shift toward longer-term corporate investment focus rather than short-termism. When Wall Street stock analysts continue to fixate on quarter-to-quarter EPS and sales growth forecasts, U.S. public corporations may fail to deliver long-term gains in the form of better R&D innovation, technology, and greater financial inclusion.
However, some stock market investors and activists may balk at the likely opaque disclosure of U.S. corporate financial performance. The resultant deterioration in corporate transparency can induce U.S. public corporations to derail off the current path of consistent stakeholder communication. Indeed, both the Trump tweet and subsequent SEC investigation seem to resonate with Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren's recent proposal or the Accountable Capitalism Act.
