1 Earnings Call Transcripts Analysis, Q2 FY207 August 3, 207
2 Executive Summary Hamilton Place Strategies conducted an analysis of quarterly earnings call transcripts of U.S. public companies to identify key issues influencing the business community s decision making. We analyzed earnings call transcripts from the fourth quarter of fiscal year 206 to the second quarter of fiscal year 207, with the goal of tracking a broad range of topics impacting the U.S. economy from quarter to quarter. Key Findings: Earnings calls mentioning President Trump declined 84 percent between January and late August. Mentions of tax reform have declined by 38 percent since the beginning of the year. Not surprisingly, healthcare reform saw the largest increase in policy mentions. Of the total number of all-time earnings calls that mention "artificial intelligence," two-thirds of them occurred in the past year. Discussion of millennials in earnings calls has grown steadily, outpacing mentions of Baby Boomers in 204, as their purchasing power has increased.
