earnings call

Quarterly results presentation

An earnings call is a conference call or webcast in which a public company's executives discuss financial results with analysts and investors, typically held quarterly after releasing earnings reports.

Executives present performance data, then field questions: The CEO addressed concerns about declining margins on the earnings call.

Markets often react to what's said—or not said—during these calls.
