President Donald Trump’s recent call to shift from quarterly to semiannual corporate reporting has drawn cautious support from global investors focused on long-term sustainability. Reuters reports that President Trump’s call to shift back from quarterly to semiannual reporting encourages short-termism, a view echoed by business leaders such as Warren Buffett and Jamie Dimon.

Surprisingly, some sustainability-focused investors—often at odds with Trump’s policies—agree. They believe less frequent reporting could help companies focus more on long-term strategy and environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, provided transparency is maintained. Critics, however, warn that safeguards would be needed to protect investor interests and ensure timely disclosures. 9/25/2025
