 Hey there, Chad Bondi here for high university libraries. I am an avid sports fan and one of the things I really like about watching sports and listening to sports is after the game when the coach talks to the new the sports broadcasters About how the game went, you know one things they can use to get better things that they you know did really well Did you know that there is information like that for publicly traded companies? They're called fair disclosure transcripts and they typically occur Quarterly after companies release their earnings conference calls this video shows you how to find those transcripts in Lexis nexus. So here you go To begin I'd like to give you a little information about what the fair disclosure wire is and how far back it goes in Lexis nexus You can see it goes back to April 2nd 2001 through current and it looks like it's updated within four days of publication and what this is is The the wire contains I'm just going to read straight off here wire contains events event briefs and transcripts of analyst calls basically when when analysts talk to Executives of publicly traded companies when they release their quarterly earnings and that sort of thing They do a phone call to basically ask them questions and what these are these are transcripts of those calls verbatim and Basically, it's a good way to get Some of the information from the the executives as far as where the company is going why their numbers are down Why their numbers are up you may be able to glean some information about some of the company's strategy going forward So it's a great source for that kind of information Now admittedly nexus makes a little bit difficult to find what you're looking for and then in the case of this fd news wire What we're going to do you have to know that the name of the publication. I've already told you it's fd news wires We're just going to search for a publication and then go over here and type in fd and from the list here We see fd fair disclosure wire and we click there and just do a search Now what this will do you see it searches and gets 10,000 plus results that because it hasn't actually searched for a company there Now what I found I tried two different things. I'm searching for cumulus media It's a company that that does radio broadcasting. It's one of the companies that my students are working on right now They recently followed fall for bankruptcy. And so we're we're in doing some restructuring So I want to find some of the the the conference calls from this company So I'm going to search for cumulus media within results here And you can see I get Some things about cumulus media, but I'm getting a bunch of other stuff. That's not cumulus media So what I found is If you actually and you kind of miss it up here, you can search within fair disclosure wire To search for cumulus media this guy this way and Hit the magnifying glass there to search It looks like this search Does a better job of actually looking for the the company that I'm actually looking for here So you can see my my my search results are a little bit better I've got no idea why this is different than than this, but You use this search box up here to search within the publication of fair disclosure wire Now what these are these are basically transcripts, you know, it'll give you a who was on the call and The operator and that's kind of thing and it basically kind of walks you through like, you know What they did with their their earnings and that sort of stuff What I like about it is You get information like this it talks about their initiatives looks like they complete a full route of something called C Suite which they collect some digital tools and things like that they move to a product called We know something called West Westwood once this gives me additional things that the company wants to highlight that I as a Researcher can then go back and do some more research about so it's a good way to get Information about you know the company's view of how they're doing and a little bit of company strategy They're not they're not going to tell you everything that they're going to be doing for competitive purposes But it's a good way to kind of get an idea as far as where the company Believes their heading and what kind of things they need to steer to correct Some problems that they had Hope this video helped you understand how to find those earnings conference call transcripts in nexus uni or Lexis nexus as I get Used to calling it If you need more help look for the contact link on the business blog We're glad to help you whenever I can take care and best of luck with your research
