(New York)
One of the big challenges in digesting earnings is trying to parse through what are and what are not material statements made by company executives on earnings call s. Executives at publicly traded companies have become experts at deflecting tough questions and use sophisticated and evasive language to obfuscate the direction of their companies. However, American Century Investments is debuting a new piece of language processing software which can intelligently understand the commentary and identify material versus immaterial statements, or what they call "BS". The software is highly sophisticated in spotting not just key words, but patterns and relationships between statements. It cites four areas that can help it find BS: omission, "spin", obfuscation, and blame.
FINSUM : This seems as though it could be a useful tool, especially as it is more sophisticated than just using key words (which people can easily adapt to).
