Vincent Raby sees new possibilities for targeting, analysis and executive readiness at firm that was shortlisted in the best use of technology including AI category at the IR Impact Awards – 2026
The earnings call process is one of the biggest placeholders on the IR calendar. Research by IR Impact from last year shows that IR professionals are spending 25 percent of their time on earnings preparation – notably more than the next biggest time sink, roadshows and investor meetings (19 percent), even though corporate access is the bread and butter of the role.
Technology is rapidly reshaping many elements of the IR function. And the biggest changes are in those areas where tasks are time consuming and often repetitive, where regulation leaves no wiggle room – and where many other people, including the C-suite, are part of the process. Earnings prep ticks all the boxes for a tech-powered overhaul.

One company that has been making strides in AI – across the firm but also specifically in IR – is Fortune 500 auto manufacturer Lear Corporation.
