Donald Trump has called for American companies to stop reporting quarterly results, as his Wall Street watchdog moved to scrap its aggressive enforcement agenda in a sign of a more business-friendly stance.
The US president said on his Truth Social network that companies should shift to publishing figures twice a year, contrasting standard practice in the US with what he depicted as China’s more long-term approach.
Most publicly listed US companies are required to file quarterly and annual financial filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
“Subject to SEC Approval, Companies and Corporations should no longer be forced to ‘Report’ on a quarterly basis,” Trump said. “This will save money, and allow managers to focus on properly running their companies.”
He added: “Did you ever hear the statement that, ‘China has a 50 to 100 year view on management of a company, whereas we run our companies on a quarterly basis???’ Not good!!!”
Trump’s remarks came soon after Paul Atkins, his appointee as SEC chair, told the Financial Times in an interview that he would give businesses notice of any technical violations before regulators “bash down their door”.
