This market will resolve to "Yes" if the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission votes to approve a rule or otherwise formally enacts a policy that removes the requirement for publicly traded companies to file quarterly earnings reports by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

Narrow company or industry specific removals of quarterly earnings requirements will not qualify. Likewise a general removal of the rules which maintains the quarterly reporting requirement for specific companies will qualify.

Any approving vote on a rule change that reduces the requirement to report earnings from quarterly to a less frequent cadence will qualify.

The primary resolution source will be official information from the SEC; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.The SEC’s May 5, 2026 proposal to introduce optional semiannual reporting on new Form 10-S rather than mandate elimination of quarterly Form 10-Q filings underpins the 60.5% market-implied probability assigned to “No.” The rule preserves companies’ ability to continue quarterly disclosures while permitting an annual election for twice-yearly reporting, keeping the existing Exchange Act obligation intact absent further Commission action. With the 60-day comment period open through early July and no final rule or vote issued, traders price in limited near-term probability of outright removal by year-end. Key upcoming catalysts include any revisions to the proposal and potential FOMC or congressional signals on disclosure burdens.The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may be preparing a proposal that could eliminate the requirement for publicly traded companies to file quarterly earnings reports.
