Quarterly readoutPer-event on requestBoard-ready

The board asks whether IR is working. This is the answer.

Calls held and conferences attended are activity, not outcomes. The IR Readout scores every announcement of your quarter — market reaction, volume, and what that event class normally does — against 26M+ news events over 20+ years.

Four pages per quarter. Every claim is a measurement.
The problem

Activity is not an outcome.

What boards get

Calls held: 84. Conferences: 6. Coverage: 4 initiations.

Effort, counted. It says nothing about whether the market heard any of it.

What the readout shows

6 announcements. 5 measurable reactions. Median +1.8% against a +1.4% class baseline.

Outcomes, measured from the news timestamp and scored against 20 years of the same event class. The board reads it in one page.

Inside the readout · 01

The event log: your quarter, scored.

Every announcement of the quarter — press releases, filings, earnings — with its measured market reaction and volume multiple. A dash is a finding, not a gap: the market did not react.

Reaction scores vs 20-year baselines.

A +1.8% move on earnings means nothing on its own. Against 20 years of the same event class it becomes a score: what this announcement did versus what announcements like it normally do. That is what “normal” looks like, per event class — not per news cycle.

Levi (Tel Aviv), Livnat (NYU Stern), Zhang (Rutgers) & Zhang (UC Berkeley Haas), 2016 — “Are extended hours prices predictive of subsequent stock returns?” — peer-reviewed research built on News Quantified data. The study validates the event-reaction methodology: the measured market reaction to a news event predicts the subsequent drift.

Inside the readout · 03

The no-reaction diagnosis.

“We put out material news and the market shrugs.” The readout does not stop at the dash — every announcement with no measurable reaction gets a diagnosis, drawn from the dataset, on three axes.

01
Timing

When it hit the tape: into the close, inside a peer’s earnings window, on a macro day. The dataset shows what the same event class does in each slot — and what yours gave up.

02
Crowding

How many stories competed for attention in your window — in your name, your sector, and the broad tape — and how reactions to your event class decay as crowding rises.

03
Novelty

Whether the announcement contained information the market did not already hold. Restated or pre-signaled news scores low on novelty — and reactions to it are measurably smaller.

Inside the readout · 04

The trend the board tracks.

One line, four quarters: the share of your announcements the market measurably heard. It moves when your program moves — timing, messaging, event selection. That is the outcome metric activity reports cannot produce.
