La Comisión de Bolsa y Valores de EE. UU. propone eliminar el requisito de informes trimestrales, permitiendo que las empresas cotizadas presenten informes semestrales.

Golden Finance report, May 6th, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed on Tuesday to end the quarterly reporting requirements for companies traded in the U.S., allowing them to switch to semi-annual reports. Trump first proposed this idea during his first term and re-emphasized it as a government priority in September last year. SEC Chairman Gensler stated in a Tuesday release: “The rigidity of SEC rules prevents companies and their investors from determining the most suitable frequency of interim reports that meet their business needs and investor expectations.” This move has received support from many companies and investment banks such as JPMorgan Chase, which believe that quarterly reports impose a heavy and costly burden on businesses. They also argue that quarterly reporting fosters short-termism among companies, sacrifices long-term planning, and has been one of the factors behind the sharp decline in the number of U.S. listed companies over the past decade.
