SEC proposal S7-2026-15 would shift public companies to semi-annual reporting, critics warn of investor harm
14d ago· 2 min readenOpinion
Summary
The article argues against the SEC's proposed rule S7-2026-15, which would require public companies to report earnings only twice a year instead of quarterly. It claims this would create a six-month blackout period for investors and represents an "Enron rollback" of transparency. The article references historical data from 1955 to 1970 when semi-annual reporting was the norm, suggesting investors suffered lower real returns during that period. It urges readers to comment on the proposal by July 6, 2026.
