Research firms
How research firms question management on earnings calls: the companies they cover, how often they ask, and how often their questions are challenging.
Across tracked earnings calls. Ranked by questions asked, most first. Firms with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
What challenge rate means
Challenge rate is the share of a firm’s questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. Each profile reflects the calls where that firm’s analysts asked questions, so profiles cover different companies and dates. It describes how questions are asked; it does not measure whether any view about a company turned out to be right.
