#earningscall

Uniti stock touched $4.00 today. It looks like wall street was not buying what KG was selling in the earning call. Only 5 months ago it was at $12.75 on buyout rumours.

Planned changes announced in the earnings call?

No earnings call = maximum legal protection in the final stretch.

The legal reality

Every word said on an earnings call is a potential securities liability. Executives answer analyst questions in real time, and in bankruptcy proceedings those statements get scrutinized. If an executive says something optimistic about the business outlook two weeks before a Chapter 11 filing, that's the kind of thing that generates litigation later. Cancelling the call eliminates that risk entirely.

What it signals about timing

Companies cancel earnings calls for restructuring reasons when the filing is imminent — not months away, not "we're exploring options." If the filing were still 60-90 days out, they'd hold the call, give careful prepared remarks, and dodge analyst questions with "we can't comment on the restructuring process." The fact that they won't even do that tells you the window between the 10-Q filing and the Chapter 11 petition is very short.

What they're doing instead

Filing the 10-Q on Friday satisfies their SEC regulatory obligation. That's the minimum they're legally required to do as a public company, and that's exactly what they're doing — the minimum. No webcast, no prepared remarks, no analyst Q&A, no replay. Just the document.

The industry read

When a company under restructuring pressure skips the earnings call, every creditor, analyst, and restructuring professional reads it the same way: the RSA is either signed or days from being signed, and the petition follows shortly after. This is a well-worn playbook. It's not ambiguous.

Bottom line

The 10-Q filing on Friday is the last required public communication before the Chapter 11 petition. No earnings call means no public commitments, no recorded statements, no analyst questions on the record. The company is in legal lockdown mode. Everything after Friday points toward the courthouse.

On November 6th, I will be calling into the Quarterly Earnings Call, as a Public Citizen. If on that call I hear anything from the CEO or CFO that is misleading to the shareholders (investors, bankers, private equity firms) or an outright lie, I will be reporting to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Listen closely to the earnings call and the interview after for employees posted on the intranet. When DW talks about raising the dividend slowly because the future is uncertain the same thinking is applied to employee compensation. We can go years with record oil prices and profits and not see raises because they will say something like “but oil could go back to $30 a barrel so we have to plan for that”

Monday or after earning call?

Amigos, i did it again, Turnover has gone below $12 billion, book to bill below 1, fcf i included the TCS payout to confuse them. Had them cornered used the usual project delays, execution could be improved, more severe employee cuts to follow decline, i have brought in Paul who will fix it. Im just loving the dream, off to buy that yacht and Ferrari. Oh pay rises for you next year, i mean sometime next decade haha adios amigo.

Hi Gang its that time again need to talk some b4ll again, i've been busy with my sports stuff and with Holly doing the world holiday tour, i mean meeting customers. Would you believe its my 3rd year shrinking the company as GROWTH CEO, my bank balance has gone up massive, DXC is a great sideline. I have put in a couple of extra layers in Paul T and co, so dont know whats going on really. I dont do any Town Halls or anything other work. Anyhow i can use macro, project delays, middle east, oil price, uncertainty, ai, oasis and other excuses and make capital out of the insurance sale. But if you have anymore ideas let me know... year 4 and more free money upwards and onwards asta la vista babies.

I expect the earning call to go bad tomorrow. Beyond bad. It will bloodshed that will finish off this company. We are all finished! That will be our October Surprise which will lead to December Layoffs!

SpaceX could be on the cusp of buying 80,000 cell towers. This is in addition to to spectrum they are beginning to accumulate. If Dan does not have a realistic strategic response to this threat on next week's earnings call and responds with the predictable
"We welcome the competition" than Verizon has waived the white flag. I began my career with NYNEX and this will be the most important earnings call of my tenure. A new Value Prop won't right this threat. Dan had better rise to the occasion!

It's next week and it's coming.

On the earnings call, Comcast confirmed it is undertaking a massive organizational restructuring ahead of its mid-2027 NBCUniversal spin-off, which includes major job cuts on the cable and telecom side and will trigger a restructuring charge of over $1 billion in Q4.

Why would my VP require all of the Leaders under them attend the earnings call on 10/27/26? Is there something bad that is going to be announced and wants the Leaders to hear it firsthand at 7:30 in the morning, so it ruins the rest of the day???

How many times will our leaders talk about the superiority of fiber over satellite on today’s earnings call?

Will they even acknowledge SpaceX or Elon?

What other tired phrases do you expect to hear?

I'm guessing it will go under $4.00 after the 3rd quarter earnings call. Prove me wrong KJ and Brene !! :)

Why?

“We did some work last year and saw a substantial reduction in headcount, but quite frankly, there’s more to be had, and you’ll see us taking aggressive action there in the next 12-18 months as well”.

Buckle up. “Aggressive action”

Any speculations on how BB is going to report in upcoming call? Seems like Q3 was a bad quarter as the sales numbers are down and factory production has been lowly utilised.

What do you expect to hear?

Any updates on the rumoured risk layoffs that supposed to be getting announced imminently.

Or was it all just bullsh-t rumors?

Do we think the amount of layoffs over the last few months amount to 400 million savings.

Next earnings call will be interesting 🤔

She’s been in the league four years, so congratulations on beating years 1 through 3.

Also SHAI HAS A NEW SHOE.

Please look at the shoes and stop looking at the income statement.

The turnaround program is now called PACE.

Which is objectively hilarious because about a month ago everybody was asking how the he-l Nike still has an 18-month go-to-market timeline.

Analyst basically asked that exact question on the call:

“What are you doing about the 18-month timeline?”

We hit him with:

“Anyway, let me tell you about PACE.”

That was the quickest deflection of the entire earnings call.

PACE.

Because nothing says speed like taking a year and a half to get a shoe to market.

Part of PACE is simplifying the organization, removing layers and moving work closer to where it can be done faster.

Translation: your job is going to the new campus in India.

Good luck finding out where your shipment is when your entire supply-chain support team is asleep.

Also we’re going down to three geographies because apparently four geographies was simply too many geographies.

Did we mention Caitlin Clark yet?

“Removing layers.”

For anybody who has worked in corporate America, “removing layers” is not a strategy. That’s a warning.

We paid a small nation’s GDP for the German Football Federation, so now we have to make that sh-t work.

And somewhere in there was basically the realization that after backing up the Brinks truck for Germany, maybe Mbappé wasn’t in the budget anymore.

Notice what none of the analysts asked:

“So exactly how many people are getting laid off?”

Tells you everything you need to know about who the earnings call is actually for.

Overall guidance:

More pain before the gain.

Maybe FY28.

Maybe FY29.

Maybe FYNever.

But don’t worry.

PACE.

Caitlin Clark has a new shoe.

Shai has a new shoe.

Air Force 1s are back.

See y’all next quarter.

Does anyone have a line into investor relations or corporate communications who can tell us honestly why the stock is down $20 in the past two months. I know DJ and BN stumbled on the last earnings call giving the 2027 forecast, but there's no reason I can see why the stock is in free fall. Any wisdom that you have?

Heard it is in coming days and it is a big one. Gluck to all.

Saw that TEBG gonna give price promotion to boost sales for 3Q end. Looks like times are getting bad to salvage the next earning call.

#challengeaccepted

I’m thinking so unfortunately. These recent hirings and firings seem knee-je-k and desperate like he’s exiting soon.

Based on conversations I’ve had internally, the comments on Reddit and this forum, and the Q2 earnings call (severance funds), it does appear that this Wednesday will have impacts across the entire bank.

What should we look out for? When would meetings get scheduled? Tuesday night? Wednesday morning?

Next quarterly earnings report is Th, 10 Sep 2026 after market close.
Earnings call is 17:00 ET that day.

Sad..

I really hope everyone is able to leave this toxic af company. Can you imagine working somewhere where earnings calls are a place to celebrate the value the company has delivered? Every earnings call here, the more numb I’ve become to wondering when the next LR will hit.

Just as expected, a pitiful Q2 earnings call with an on par deflection from management regarding "supply chain issues" (we all know better than that). The after hours trading price tells the truth.

Looks like Humana executives are at it again with their artificially inflating the stock market with their stock buybacks.

I wonder if actual investors are that easily fooled with this utter nonsense. Seems like you would have to be rather naive if you didn’t first research what was presented in yesterday’s Q2 Earnings call in regards to the announced exiting of many Medicare plans, which will effect some 600k members and only 40% of them possibly might get recouped under other larger plans. Doesn’t give me a lot of confidence.

only a couple of days to wait for Louie to give the great Q2 numbers and the stock takes off

Should we even listen in to this? With everything that has been changed and twisted the last six weeks I doubt they’ll paint a true picture of what’s happening. I find it interesting the forecast was so off but yet this go around they know exactly how many of us to offer VSP and ISP. I have no faith in this leadership any longer.

Hearing that SG layoffs will be in full swing post earnings call. Will affect both product and tech.

Can just anyone hop on and listen to the earnings call tomorrow? I've never done it before, and I'm curious to hear what will be said amidst all of this BS.

No word from Enrique since restructuring and layoffs were announced. No word from him when Stripe made their ridiculous offer. Time is up. Earnings call is tomorrow, our CEO can no longer be hiding. Hopefully he was too busy working on a big plan to turnaround the company and will take everyone by surprise... Or maybe not...

It really stings that it was immediately following the earnings call where all the top brass was smiling and sharing vacation plans
