Earning Credibility in a Rapidly Changing Market
Wednesday, September 30, 2026
12:00–1:00 PM ET
Renee L. Campbell
SVP, Capital Markets & Risk / Treasurer at Valmont
Dirk Locascio
EVP and CFO at US Foods
Diane McClintock
CFO at Watts Water
Amy Garbowicz
SVP, IR Advisory & Special Situations at Corbin Advisors
Dylan Yaworski
VP, Head of Research and Strategy at Corbin Advisors
During this presentation, we will challenge conventional earnings playbooks, debate what truly matters, and share practical strategies for communicating with clarity, credibility, and impact. With earnings being one of the most debated topics in the market, this session will tackle the most contentious and evolving aspects of earnings communications: what’s actually moving the needle today, what’s noise, and how IR teams are adapting in an AI-driven world.
The discussion will feature CFOs and Investor Relations Officers from companies facing different levels of AI opportunity and disruption, providing attendees with a broad range of perspectives.
Our expert-led panel will:
- Pull back the curtain on what investors and analysts are doing before the call even begins: running their own scenario analyses, stress-testing guidance, and often predetermining their reactions
- Unpack how top IR teams actively shape expectations ahead of the print, including consensus management and “pressure testing” beat and miss scenarios
- Challenge conventional norms with earnings communication, including what actually matters in communications today, backed by in-depth research
- Hear directly from CFOs and IROs representing companies across the AI spectrum – from AI beneficiaries to businesses facing disruption – on how their earnings messaging, disclosure priorities, and investor engagement strategies are evolving
