You are still trying to cherry pick. UK gets inventory when the ships come in. Model 3 comes from Shanghai, and Model Y comes from Berlin. Looking at data with only the first months of quarter never makes sense.

And notice how the shares of bluechips in Australia, Europe & UK lags behind US blue chips? Forward guidance by management on quarterly basis is the difference.

Nearby_Valuable_5467

Investors are pretty important to major companies. Trading on no news for six months means that you’re essentially pissing in the wind. As an ex-reporter in the UK half-year results worked well for us, though. Quarterlies give a volume of information that you need.

domo-arogato

This is the standard in Australia Europe and the UK and there doesn’t really seem to be an issue. Not sure what the benefit of quarterly reporting is except pumping up fees for audit companies

The UK is even more screwed than America. Without a reserve currency you can't run massive deficits and have low rates. The result is runaway inflation and people are already mad about that and it's barely started. They need to raise rates and cut spending but raising rates will raise spending too, so they need to double cut spending elsewhere. All the options are bad.

The UK has "stocks and shares ISA", which has no taxes on investment income. Up to 20K GBP per FY, this accumulates over a few years.

Borba_Fett88

Excellent point. I'd only add that increasing wealth inequality is also an extremely dangerous element. It kills the working class and the middle class and no austerity measures can fix it (austerity hasn't helped the UK in recent years), unless they're accompanied by rigorous, progressive taxation.

CoquitlamFalcons

I don’t oppose the idea on instinct; the UK has semi-annual earnings after all. I would appreciate, though, rigorous studies comparing corporate governance between the US and the UK, and whether earning report frequency has any correlation. Then we will see if it’s worth adopting.

GOOGL just invested $5b in additional Data capacity and Tpu in UK 🇬🇧. This comes off the back of first of many govt contracts. (1) is for department of defense for $500m a year cloud and Ai. This is ahead of the trump visit to UK which is expected to gather additional business for mutual investments from both countries. Aka - donny telling Keir " look we are giving you investment" $GOOGL can get upto $3b more from 10 UK govt departments.

The EU stopped requiring quarterly reports in 2013, and the UK stopped it in 2014. Tons of companies in both still do quarterly reporting. The Frankfurt Stock Exchange still requires quarterly reports for prime markets, but they're the only major exchange that I'm aware of that does. That said, I really don't think the US should be aiming to be like Europe or China in this regard. There are good reasons Europeans and Chinese investors throw so much money into US stocks, and part of that is definitely the extra transparency and accountability that is offered here.

Is that what the UK, the EU, and Australia do?

Is that what happens in the EU, the UK, and Australia?

Jyil

The UK, the EU, and Australia already report this way.

Jyil

Are you calling the UK, Australia, and the EU dense too? International markets have done this for decades.

Jyil

Sure they will. It’ll encourage longer term investors versus short-term. They already do it in the UK, Australia, and the EU.

Jyil

Australia and the UK does too. This is a nothing burger. It’s just people who like to whine when they see a Trump post. They cant disassociate his name from it and think logically.

Jyil

Looks at major international markets Australia, UK, and the EU. They’ve been doing this for decades.

Jyil

You’re still required to report. Why don’t you ask the UK, Australia, and the EU about it? That’s how it has worked with the markets there. Come back with an answer when you learn a bit more about international markets.

Jyil

And so did Australia, UK, and most of the EU. Is this your first time learning about how some of the biggest stock markets outside of the NA operate?

Jyil

There’s a lot of people here commenting that don’t really understand how this will positively impact companies. Seems most people with 0 experience investing always find their way to threads that mention Trump and talk with their foot in their mouths. Tell us how you are new to the investing without you are new to investing. This is going to encourage longer term investments and less short-term trades. The UK already does this. Much of the EU does this and so does Australia.

As a current Rolls-Royce investor and well-versed in my research, I think the SMR hype is not necessarily priced in, I think most of what we’re seeing right now is defense oriented from NATO and Russia constantly poking the bear. The SMR stuff is still in such early stages, we are starting to see more orders there but the true upside of this play could make Rolls-Royce the biggest company in the UK. Even if it’s moderately priced in, it’s not even close to what the reality could look like with a successful implementation. Also, that’s not even considering the fact that they are entering the narrow space airplane engine market again and if that’s even slightly successful, it could double their business on that end which would send them into the stratosphere.

oberwolfach

The high and growing national debt is certainly a very problematic issue, but I don’t think other markets will have an easier time. The US has a relatively low tax take (for instance, it does not have a national VAT), so if it needs to boost revenue, there’s a clear set of actions available, even if they are politically painful.  Contrast this with a place like France: comparably heavy debt, but with extraordinarily high taxation already, less growth, and worse demographics. Or consider the UK, which is in a similar situation despite having its own currency (you want to talk about a developed country that has really started behaving like an emerging market?). It’s not that the solution here is deeply unpalatable; it’s that it’s difficult to even begin to frame a solution at all.

Treadmiler

Reducing public reporting from quarterly to semiannual isn’t reckless, it’s actually pragmatic. The current reporting system demands constant output from every department, not just finance, creating a year-round reporting treadmill diverting focus from long-term strategy. Trump’s proposal to shift to bi-annual disclosures mirrors practices in the UK and EU. Executives such as Warren Buffett and Jamie Dimon have long argued quarterly reporting fuels short-termism at the expense of sustainable growth.

From an investors standpoint, daily _would_ be the best, as more data provides for the opportunity to make quicker, more informed decisions. Obviously that's too much of a burden for companies, but I don't think quarterly is that big of a deal. If the burden of 4 vs 2 reports per year is what's preventing you from going public, I can't imagine your fundamentals are attractive to begin with. It should be noted that the S&P alone is larger than the UK market by an order of magnitude and then some. I could see relaxing requirements on companies under a certain size but Apple should absolutely be reporting quarterly given it's the size of the whole UK market by itself.

DowntownWpg

I don't think anything will happen until next week at the earliest. 1. Charlie Kirk's funeral is on Sept 21, Trump is attending. Rescheduling Cannabis, which Charlie disagreed with, could be seen as disrespectful until Charlie's memorial. 2. Leading up to it, Trump will be in the UK Sept 16-18 which will take up media attention. Getting it done prior to month end could be sensible due to the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act containing the cannabis access provision.

AromaticMemory5073

Disagree big time with this. Daily? Are you kidding? The whole point of this is to make it more affordable for small companies to be public. Six months of audited results is perfectly fine to make an investing decision. Most larger UK companies (where this is already in place) give KPI updates each quarter anyway

TheOmegaKid

The UK is a notoriously and historically opaque financial system. Trusts enable horrendous crime all over the world. What's your point?

6 month reporting is more akin to the UK and EU than China…and Dimon and Buffet have advocated for it in the past to encourage less short term thinking by companies.

garulousmonkey

He suggested they move to 2x yearly, instead of quarterly. Not exactly an earth shattering idea.  Several major foreign markets already work on a semi-annual reporting schedule - including the UK and Hong Kong* Going from quarterly to half year won’t change anything, other than trim a few jobs in the investor relations department. *China actually mandates annual reports, but HK markets mandate semi-annual.

Not saying it’s good or bad, but UK’s economy/markets performance have very little to do with half year reporting.

Middle-Cat-1204

Conspiracy theory. Virtually all publicly prefer semi-annual reporting. Public companies, particularly through industry associations, executives, and advocacy groups, have repeatedly expressed concerns about the burdens of mandatory quarterly reporting (e.g., Form 10-Q filings with the SEC). Common themes include high compliance costs, time demands on management, encouragement of short-termism over long-term strategy, and a preference for semi-annual or less frequent reporting to better align with business realities. Below, I summarize key evidence from comment letters to the SEC, petitions, surveys, and statements. This draws primarily from the SEC's 2018-2019 consultation on earnings releases and quarterly reports (File No. S7-26-18), where dozens of submissions favored flexibility in reporting frequency. 1. SEC Comment Letters Supporting Semi-Annual Reporting (2019) During the SEC's review of disclosure effectiveness, numerous organizations representing or directly from public companies submitted letters advocating for an optional shift to semi-annual reporting. These highlight disproportionate burdens on smaller and emerging-growth companies. Key examples: U.S. Chamber of Commerce (Center for Capital Markets Competitiveness) (Tom Quaadman, EVP; July 17, 2019, and March 21, 2019): Argued that semi-annual reporting would "decrease compliance costs and reduce short-term market pressures," allowing companies to focus on long-term value creation rather than quarterly fluctuations. They noted that quarterly requirements impose "significant resource burdens" on issuers, especially amid increasing disclosure complexity. Society for Corporate Governance (James G. Martin, SVP & General Counsel; April 19, 2019): Urged the SEC to "seriously consider allowing public companies to adopt semi-annual reporting in their discretion," as it "frees up board and management to focus more on strategy and execution." A related poll by the Society found 45% of emerging-growth and smaller reporting company respondents supported the option, citing reduced short-term decision-making pressures. They referenced the UK's semi-annual model as evidence that many U.S. firms would likely switch over time. National Association of Corporate Directors (Dr. Karen Horn, Chair; Peter R. Gleason, CEO; March 21, 2019): Stated that semi-annual reporting would "allow boards to focus on long-term strategy rather than short-term earnings," reducing the "myopic focus" quarterly cycles create. Nasdaq, Inc. (John A. Zecca, SVP, General Counsel; March 21, 2019): Supported less frequent reporting to "balance investor needs with reduced compliance burdens for issuers," emphasizing that quarterly mandates can distort capital allocation. CFA Institute (Kurt N. Schacht, Managing Director; Sandra J. Peters, Head of Policy; March 28, 2019): Endorsed semi-annual options, arguing it could "mitigate short-termism and allow for more meaningful disclosures" without sacrificing transparency. Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (Douglas K. Howell, Corporate VP & CFO; August 2, 2019): A direct statement from a public company executive, claiming quarterly reporting "creates unnecessary pressure and costs," and semi-annual would better align with "long-term strategy." Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP (on behalf of clients; March 27, 2019): Representing public companies, they argued semi-annual reporting would "reduce the administrative burden" while maintaining investor access via Form 8-K for material events. FCLTGlobal (Sarah Keohane Williamson, CEO; Ariel Fromer Babcock, Managing Director; July 22, 2019): Highlighted how frequent reporting "distorts management focus," with semi-annual enabling a "longer-term perspective." Georgetown University (James J. Angel, Associate Professor; March 22, 2019): Noted quarterly reporting "exacerbates short-term market reactions," advocating semi-annual for stability—echoing views from corporate leaders. Other supporters included the Managed Funds Association (September 6, 2019), which called semi-annual a way to "reduce the burden on issuers," and a coalition of free-market groups (Grover Norquist et al.; October 27, 2020), stating quarterly leads to "short-termism" and semi-annual promotes "long-term value creation." 2. National Association of Manufacturers Comment Letter (December 17, 2018) In response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification proposal (S7-26-18), NAM supported a bifurcated system: semi-annual for smaller companies, quarterly for larger ones. Key reasons: Cost Burden: Quarterly compliance costs smaller firms up to $100,000 per period (lawyers, auditors), equating to $3,345 per $1M revenue vs. $541 for larger firms (per Audit Analytics study). Time Drain: CEOs/CFOs of small caps spend 2-5% of their time on filings, diverting from growth initiatives. Long-Term Focus: Reduces "pressure of short-term thinking," allowing time for strategic planning like product development. Evidence included executive interviews, e.g., a small-cap media company's Chairman calling quarterly reporting a "distraction from core business." 3. Long-Term Stock Exchange Petition (September 2025) The Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE) petitioned the SEC to eliminate mandatory quarterly reporting, allowing companies to opt for semi-annual. Backed by public companies listed on LTSE (e.g., tech and biotech firms prioritizing long-term incentives), it argues quarterly cycles fuel "short-termism" and compliance costs exceeding $1B annually industry-wide. LTSE cites a 2023 PwC survey where 68% of executives said quarterly pressure hinders innovation. As of September 15, 2025, over 50 public companies have signaled support via LTSE filings. 4. Broader Surveys and Studies PwC CEO Survey (2023): 68% of U.S. CEOs reported quarterly reporting diverts focus from long-term goals; 52% favored semi-annual to cut costs (estimated at 10-15% of finance department time). Deloitte Global Survey (2022): 61% of public company finance leaders viewed quarterly filings as a "major burden," with 47% supporting reduced frequency to foster strategic investments. Wall Street Journal/Audit Analytics Study (2018): Highlighted $2.5B+ annual U.S. compliance costs for quarterly reports, disproportionately hitting small/mid-caps, prompting calls from groups like the Chamber of Commerce.

I see it as a positive change. Would give senior leadership more time to focus on running the business, rather than managing short-term expectations. UK already made this change back in 2014, although many companies still voluntarily report more frequently. For swing traders, maybe a negative. Short term trading probably benefits from more frequent reporting.

That actually explains a lot about why quantum stocks like IONQ spiked, big government backing always gets investors excited, especially if it’s framed as part of a national security push. If the US and UK are teaming up on quantum tech to counter China, it signals long-term funding, contracts, and probably a flood of R&D money, which is exactly the kind of news that makes markets jump even if the actual profits are years away. Still super speculative though… quantum is bleeding-edge tech, so the hype moves way faster than the real revenue does

virtual_adam

This is /r/investing and I’m intentionally keeping it in the framework of the American stock market * yes people were self importing like crazy from China and the rest of the world via De Minimis, this is **great** for the stock market because it’s made aliexpress/temu and do almost illegal. Good for every single American retailer. Allowing people to order things import and sales tax free, while forcing retailers to pay import taxes and sales tax is purely anti business. For this reason the EU, UK and others charge sales tax **from the first penny** and import taxes after a ~$100ish value. Because they also call it anti business * mom and pop shops are generally less relevant in /r/investing. Again their loss is the big retailers advantage And back to my original point. For publicly traded companies, who buy items from importers, the increase in cost of goods is a smaller hit to their bottom line than the Harris corporate tax rate. And either is fine really, it’s not what’s going to kill these companies or the consumer

therealjerseytom

It's a question of what type of risk is appropriate for your goals and needs, since there's risk with everything you can do with your money. Everything having risk - imagine if you just had that 3000 in a tin under your bed. No short-term risk; that 3000 today will be 3000 tomorrow. But over the long run everything gets a little more expensive every year, and 20 years from now that 3000 will be able to buy way less than it can today. On the other hand you have the S&P 500, which has short-term volatility risk, and as a UK investor you can end up exposing yourself to foreign currency risk as well as the value of the Pound and Dollar go up or down relative to each other. Can easily find yourself down 20% or more and if you need that money *now*, well, you're stuck at a loss. So step one is really to identify, "What am I using this money for and when might I need it?" And then find investments that suit those goals. Can have multiple goals at once, even. Have some money put away for a short-term goal (within the next few years) and other money put away for 10-20+ years out.

I listened to him enough to know what he was selling. Just look at his organization, a group riddled with white supremacists who consistently get caught making racist remarks/directly glorifying the holocaust. In the past decade, leaders within TPUSA and in college chapters have faced backlash for using racial slurs, saying they “don’t really have an issue” with Adolf Hitler “[wanting] to make Germany great,” and making statements in support of “white power.” Former TPUSA national field director Crystal Clanton sent text messages to another TPUSA employee that said, “I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. Like fuck them all . . . I hate blacks. End of story.” Kirk had previously said about Clanton: “Turning Point needs more Crystals; so does America.” Last year, Clanton was hired as a clerk on the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals for chief judge William Pryor. [The New Yorker, 12/21/2017] [The Hill, 12/22/2017] [Reuters, 07/11/2022] After reportedly firing Clanton when her racist text message became public, Kirk hired Shialee Grooman and Troy Meeker to replace her. HuffPost reported that Grooman had written several anti-gay and racist tweets that included the N-word, and that Meeker had also tweeted an anti-Black slur. HuffPost also reported that former TPUSA Midwest regional manager Timon Prax was pushed out because of his record of using “bigoted language in tweets and texts,” including racist jokes and messages that “made fun of black people and referred to them as slaves.” [HuffPost, 04/25/2018] University of New Mexico TPUSA chapter members held an “affirmative action bake sale” that charged students different prices based on their race. [KOAT News, 09/22/2017] A former TPUSA field director recalled watching speakers at one of the organization’s annual student summits who “spoke badly about black women having all these babies out of wedlock. It was really offensive.” Speaking to The New Yorker in 2017, the former employee said that “looking back, I think it was racist.” [The New Yorker, 12/21/2017] In her resignation letter addressed to then-TPUSA field director Frankie O’Laughlin and then-regional manager Alana Mastrangelo following the group’s disastrous “diaper protest,” far-right Infowars personality Kaitlin Bennett pointed out that O’Laughlin had liked tweets from white nationalist YouTuber James Allsup. [Liberty Hangout, 02/12/2018] [Salon, 03/25/2018] [MMFA, 04/08/2019] At a December 2017 TPUSA conference, attendee Juan Pablo Andrade was recorded telling several other conference attendees, “The only thing the Nazis didn’t get right is they didn’t keep fucking going!” Andrade was formerly an adviser for the pro-Trump America First Policies group and Trump’s National Hispanic Advisory Council. [Mediaite, 05/10/2018] [The American Independent, 05/10/2018] Members of the TPUSA chapter at Florida International University shared “racist memes and rape jokes” in the group’s chat messages. According to the Miami New Times, a prominent chapter member had to tell other TPUSA members to “avoid using the n-word and don't reference Richard Spencer too much and don't Jew hate ... all the time.” [Miami New Times, 10/16/2018] Former TPUSA Director of Urban Engagement Brandon Tatum told antisemitic YouTuber Bryan Sharpe, known online as “Hotep Jesus,” that Sharpe was banned from TPUSA events because of “the optics of the antisemitic rhetoric.” Tatum summarized TPUSA’s position as being “between a rock and a hard place” because while “personally, none of us have a problem with you -- we want you here, it’s the optics, the media.” [Right Wing Watch, 04/18/2018] [MMFA, 10/26/2018] Speaking at the December 11 launch of Turning Point UK, then-TPUSA Communications Director Candace Owens said, “If Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, OK, fine. ... I have no problems with nationalism.” [MMFA, 02/08/2019]

Orange man, Jensen, Sam, and Tim Apple are heading to the UK next week. Day 1 with the royalties, day 2 with the businesses. Tons of photo ops – and we all know how that ends. Last time Tim went to the White House with his golden toy, AAPL skyrocketed. This time it’s the same play: NVDA and Apple in pole position. Meanwhile, in the background: US-China dialogue. Reuters confirmed Beijing has launched anti-dumping probes into US chips right before the talks. China’s ministry accuses Washington of “protectionist” practices aimed at suppressing the growth of strategic sectors like AI and advanced chips. But realistically, despite all the “we’ll build our own” chest-thumping, Baba & co. just aren’t there yet. NVDA has become the real trump card (pun intended). This week it’s a 1-2 punch: Trump in the UK with Jacket Huang by his side + US-China talks in Madrid.

Borba_Fett88

I was, like many here, utterly baffled by the current Tesla rally. I have a highly speculative idea, which might be very wrong, but here are my thoughts. Let me start with a premise that may look irrelevant at first. I’m based in the UK and right now the current government is struggling and losing key figures since someone is leaking compromising information to the press. The latest figure, who had to be sacked accordingly, is Peter Mandelson, former ambassador to the US, due to someone leaking his email exchange with Epstein. Last spring Musk tweeted about POTUS and the Epstein file (the tweet was subsequently deleted). Prior to the falling out between him and Trump, Musk supported far right riots in the UK in August 2024, tweeting bs like ‘civil war is inevitable’. After toning down such comments, yesterday, at a far right rally in central London, Musk intervened with a live stream saying that ‘violence is coming’ and that ‘you either fight back or you die’. POTUS is about to come to the UK next week for a second state visit and the ground has been prepared for him, in a sense, by Musk and his far right supporters. I think Trump and Musk have already made a deal and the big whales have placed their bets due to good old insider trading. At the same time, POTUS is pressing EU countries to put tariffs on China. Bear in mind that Chinese EVs are dominating the market here in Europe. I think POTUS will strike a special deal for US made EVs and that he will extend federal EV tax credits in the US for US-made cars only.

How are these online gambling companies doing in other markets like UK/Australia?  One of the issues online is that there is an army of profitable syndicates pouncing on every flaw, every good bet.  The volume of these syndicated is big and has to be cutting into their margins.   I don't know the first thing about sports or gambling and I still made a very easy ~$8000 through signup bonuses.  The real pros pounce much harder.

Coreweave (CRWV) I think is ready for a massive run up next week with some UK deal likely to be announced. Then I expect bitcoin and ethereum to have a run up next week due to fed decision to cut rates. This directly should have a good impact on MSTR which have been kept down by shorts. And BMNR will also have a good upward movement. That's just my opinion.

No brother it’s literally all of EU even Germany UK etc. they’re buying the Russian oil via proxy from India where it gets refined. Trump didn’t mention India by name but this is going to hit India as well

This is a true penny stock, swings wildly but it may pay off in the future. Basically a former gaming brand that has now shifted into the defence sector. Rolled out its first product last week. It has a "magnificent seven" partner but can't reveal who it is yet due to legalities. The shares are cheap as anything, I picked up over 150K worth for around £2000 but it has potential to fly, the UK doesn't have a company like PLTR and this is looking to fill that gap. Has a UK Lord as it's Non Exec chairman (Lord Houghton) as non executive chairman

Not so much TACO, as a "quantum mind" state: he is in superposition between "not my war" and "I will win", both of which are false. In NATO "commits to win", it is a declaration of war to Russia, and the stupid ruse of "we are not in this war", enabled exclusively by Putin, ceases to exist instantly - replaced by a state of war between NATO and Russia. With nukes stationed all over EU, Russia MUST strike first at all nuke storage and airfields, all SSBN bases in UK and France, all SSBNs at sea, all US missile bases in Poland and Romania, and also leadership in London and Paris. That must be done in first 15 minutes, or Russia gets nuked, so not a matter of choice really once NATO says those magical words. Trump doesn't get this only because he lives in his own world where he is both winning and not involved. This is his war, he owns it since 24 hours after his coronation: he could stop it in 24 hours by instantly terminating weapons shipments, ordering all weapon shipments en route to be turned back and returned to USA, ceasing all money transfers, and forcing EU to do the same by applying his charm offensive toolkit. He didn't, he took ownership, now it is his war, and he is not mentally equipped to be in it - and so he stays in denial. He can't TACO out of it.

I found it! Looks good tbf, I’ve been needing some more UK stocks. 1.4K% is a little off putting but what do I know 😂 4k% seems the norm these days

On the other hand, I paper handed my $MU and $TSLA calls earlier in the week and lost out on more than $10,000 in profit - My entire account isn’t even 10k; never had that much money in my life (my finance job salary in the UK barely covers rent). My position sizes were in the hundreds too so they would have been like 10x trades, but I got out when I saw 100% profit. I know it’s a wrong and greedy thing to say, but I hate the feeling of missing out on incredible profits more than I hate losing money - So I don’t know if that makes you feel better 😅 Still might want to exit earlier on 0DTE index options though, but don’t take my advice :D

> how masks and vaccine mandates were “medical apartheid" definition of the term: "A policy or practice of separating or segregating groups." ... so that's a ✔ > advocated for public televised executions I do not agree with this, but it *is* pretty much in keeping with the bible.. and he Was a Christian, so .. expected.. Only the first point may be a bit over the top, but then again, when one looks at other parliaments and what gets said in 'em, for instance the UK ... saying that one's political oponent is one generation away from an ape, is very regular stuff...

LION is an interesting case. The library is interesting, with some well known, albeit perhaps tired, franchises. The biggest challenge any acquirer would have is that LION uses international presales to finance most of their slate. It means they don’t own the rights to their library in a many territories ex-North America / UK. It makes exploiting the library a large headache. That being said, their TV studio has ramped up in recent years, so could interesting. I’ve lost enough betting on LION being acquired in the past that I’m not touching it, but the logic, especially post Starz split, is sound.
