Earnings Transcript

Overview

Earnings Transcripts capture what executives say on quarterly earnings calls—the most candid public statements about a company's priorities, challenges, and investments.

We ingest transcripts from 4,000+ public companies on a weekly basis. Our model scans the full transcript—CEO remarks, CFO commentary, and analyst Q&A—to extract signals across 40+ subtypes. A single transcript typically produces 5-15 signals, each with direct quotes and speaker attribution. We prioritize statements with dollar amounts, percentages, or explicit commitments over generic commentary.

Data Object

Data Activation

Timing

detected_at is when Autobound processed the transcript. Use data.earnings_date for when the call actually occurred - this is the authoritative event timestamp. Transcripts typically become available 1-7 days after the call.

Uniqueness

One signal per subtype per company per earnings call. A single call can produce 5-15 signals across different subtypes (budget, growth, pain, etc.).

Delivery

Each delivery arrives in a timestamped folder. Signals in that folder cover the window between this delivery and the previous one. Treat all signals in a new folder as recent and actionable—no need to diff against prior deliveries.

Best Practices

• Filter on relevance and confidence both above 0.9 for high-precision use cases
• Build picklists from signal_subtype values
• Use data.earnings_date to calculate freshness: detected_at - earnings_date
• Use evidence_speakers for routing signals by executive role (CFO statements to finance teams, etc.)
