The earnings call highlights significant declines in investment income, pre-tax and after-tax earnings, primarily linked to real estate activities. The Q&A session reveals additional concerns about stock market declines and increased personnel costs. Despite some positive segment performances, the lack of a share repurchase program and unclear management responses contribute to negative sentiment. The absence of any new partnerships or guidance adjustments further solidifies a negative outlook. Given these factors, the stock price is likely to experience a negative movement of -2% to -8% over the next two weeks.

All transcripts are sourced directly from the official live webcast or the company’s official investor relations website. We use the exact words spoken during the call with no paraphrasing of the core discussion.
Full verbatim transcripts are typically published within 4–12 hours after the call ends. Same-day availability is guaranteed for all S&P 500 and most mid-cap companies.
No material content is ever changed or summarized in the “Full Transcript” section. We only correct obvious spoken typos (e.g., “um”, “ah”, repeated 10 times”, or clear misspoken ticker symbols) and add speaker names/titles for readability. Every substantive sentence remains 100% as spoken.
When audio quality is poor or multiple speakers talk over each other, we mark the section instead of guessing. This ensures complete accuracy rather than introducing potential errors.
They are generated by a specialized financial-language model trained exclusively on 15+ years of earnings transcripts. The model extracts financial figures, guidance, and tone with 97%+ accuracy and is regularly validated against human analysts. The full raw transcript always remains available for verification.
