The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced on September 16, 2025, that it is prioritizing a proposal from former President Donald Trump to eliminate the requirement for companies to publish quarterly earnings reports. This proposal, if implemented, could significantly alter the landscape of corporate financial disclosures, potentially reducing the frequency of mandatory financial updates from companies. The move reflects a shift in regulatory focus, as the SEC considers the implications of less frequent reporting on market transparency and investor decision-making. The proposal aligns with Trump's previous calls for reducing regulatory burdens on businesses, aiming to streamline corporate reporting processes.
