Wall Street As A Factual Source To Determine Your Company's Performance Results

By David J. Jones


When does a company especially public traded company get to know its market standing is at the year end when its results are published and the market sentiments reflect the actual position.

The last quarter performance as well as the annual results are the most important reports which will determine the value for their shares based on their performance.

Though most companies follow the normal calendar months and the statutory norms to define their calendar closing, there are several companies which do not follow the norms and instead choose their own quarter end and annual ending cycle.

Markets demand Wall Street earning forecasts for most of the companies that follow different quarters to report their results. This helps the analysts cover more ground and run comparison with competition while reporting the performance results of the companies.

You ask any investor who wishes to invest in the market in a particular field, he is likely to say that he goes by the Wall Street reports and forecasts. This confidence of the investor has been built over time and Wall street carries a reputation for publishing factual, accurate and in depth analysis that helps traders as well as investors.

Whenever Wall Street is going to publish the reports or analysis it always generates media hype and investors in the market wait to get their hands on the report. The kind of popularity that the Wall Street enjoys is difficult for other companies to emulate.

If a company performs exceedingly well and beats its own benchmarks as well as the expectations, the Wall Street Journal provides a platform where it gets noticed as a start performer and stands to benefit from the publicity. Anyone interested in a particular field can access all information regarding the field and players from the journal.

No wonder Wall Street publications are most sought after by all investors who wish to know how a company or a market is performing and what the earnings of the company are.
