2023 IR calendar: one week ahead of last year

Scalens has just released the IR calendar of the top1400 listed companies in Europe, UK and US.

Finance teams are always more efficient. They have gained another week compared to 2022, which was already a week ahead compared to 2021 and even more compared to 2020.

Nokia in Finland will open the sequence on January 26th, five days ahead of last year. Then Volvo in Sweden, and Netflix in the US. By the end of January, more than 40 companies monitored by Scalens will have published their annual results, twice as many as in 2021. And by the end of February, two-thirds of our scope will have published their 2022 results. This is a beneficial and structural effect of the tight management of the health crisis of the previous two years. Anyone who has ever worked on the closing of a listed group knows how much collective work this progress represents… huge congrats to all these teams!

The general meetings will follow immediately. At the end of May, the annual meetings will be almost completed for all of Europe, and even earlier in the US. June is no longer “the AGM season”.

Another takeaway of the 2023 IR calendar edition is the high number of additional shareholder meetings. Transfer to Euronext Growth, new remuneration for a new manager, change of head office, share buybacks, … they no longer hesitate to meet their shareholders outside the imposed dates. To date, one in ten meeting is about something else than the closing of accounts.

For the Scalens teams spread over 12 countries, this means much : 1400 presentations of results to follow for you between January 20th and March 15th, then nearly 2000 meetings between April 15th and May 30th.

We take up the challenge and will be your eyes and ears at each of these meetings.

Have a great week,

B.H.
