About the event
Amid constant tariff news, geopolitical upheaval and other developments stemming from the new US administration, IR teams have their work cut out as they prepare their story and management team for earnings. Market expectations around trade barriers, currencies, inflation, interest rates and other factors keep swinging back and forth, forcing companies to rethink their talking points and forecasts quickly. In such an environment, it’s vital to have internal structures and technology in place to rapidly analyze developments, understand the market reaction and tailor your message accordingly. In this briefing, hear from experienced IROs about:
- How to prepare for earnings amid high macro uncertainty
- Building message consistency while remaining agile to newsflow
- Best practices for internal collaboration between IR and other teams
- Using AI tools to digest market, industry and peer developments rapidly
