IMMEDIATE CALL POSTMORTEMS
The first take, while it still matters.
After earnings, most sell-side research takes a day or more to publish, and much of it repeats the press release. An Immediate Call Postmortem is our unfiltered first read: posted on X within minutes of the call ending, then archived here and on Substack. It’s free, it’s short, and it focuses on what actually changed. We only write one when a call gives us something worth saying, and a much more thoughtful Upon Further Review report tends to follow within 3–5 business days.
