As reported in The Wall Street Journal last week [1], President Trump stated that publicly traded companies should no longer be required to report their earnings on a quarterly basis. Instead, he argued, companies should report their earnings every six months. On Truth Social, President Trump wrote, “This will save money, and allow managers to focus on properly running their companies.” In an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box on Friday, September 19, 2025, SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins, who has been clear about his interest in reducing regulation, said the SEC will propose a rule change following President Trump’s call to switch quarterly reports to an optional semiannual standard.
