It’s clear that time in the market beats timing the market, but that only makes sense if you either get in low, or have a long-enough timeframe in mind.
Those who wish to stay ahead of the markets’ inevitable swings and corrections require more than just good intuition (or lunar cycle information) — they need raw data. This is where Google wants to come in and help.
After giving Google Finance an AI overhaul, the tech giant is now looking to give the platform’s beta version a significant ‘earnings’ boost.
Announced by Google product lead Rose Yao in an X post, Google Finance beta users will now gain access to a new earnings experience, complete with live audio, instant transcripts, and even AI insights “right when they matter.”
Users will now start seeing a new “upcoming earnings” tab, with earnings divided into sections like ‘Yesterday,’ ‘Today,’ ‘Tomorrow,’ ‘This week,’ and ‘Next week.’ Additionally, within the section, users have the option to highlight ‘All stocks,’ or only the stocks saved in their watchlist.
Tapping on a company highlights their last report, when it was released, the fiscal period it was for, the revenue versus what was initially estimated, and an audio recording of the report.
There’s also an intelligent transcript section that lets you skim through the earnings call and begin listening from timestamped sections. Alternatively, users also have the option to go through the earnings report in the form of presentation slides, though this depends on the company and if it provided said slides.
There’s a ‘previous reports’ section to help you track growth or decline, paired with ‘at a glance’ insights (gathered from news and other sources) for quick snippets.
According to Yao, this has rolled out to everyone with the new Google Finance experience in the US. I’m in Canada, and the new earnings section is available to me, so the rollout might just be wider than initially announced. Check www.google.com/finance/beta, the new experience might have rolled out to you too!
