We've missed earnings forecasts LOL
An ASU accountancy expert's paper investigates how humor affects earnings calls.
In this story published Oct. 30, 2023, in the Financial Times:
We find that analysts who use humor successfully are allowed to ask longer questions, receive longer responses, and have more opportunities to interact with management later in the Q&A session than other analysts on the call — collective evidence that humor is associated with immediate benefits on the call.
