In the bustling world of investment management, keeping up with the quarterly earnings of a multitude of companies is both imperative and, at times, overwhelming. This is where innovative solutions like large language models (LLMs) can be an invaluable asset. In today's post, I’m diving into a practical demonstration of how these models can simplify and transform the way we approach earnings reports.
The Challenge
Imagine being tasked with dissecting the Q3 earnings reports of giants like Netflix, Goldman Sachs, Tesla, and Procter & Gamble. Traditional methods involve sifting through copious amounts of transcripts, articles, and press releases. But what if there was a way to get a quick, consistent, and comprehensive overview?
Enter LastMile AI
LastMile AI is a versatile platform allowing users to weave together different types of models and instructions to create a streamlined workflow. By pairing it with a chatty large language model like GPT-4 (the model that powers ChatGPT), the daunting task of earnings analysis becomes significantly more manageable.

Here's How It Works:
Input an article, such as one on Netflix's Q3 earnings.
Craft Your Instructions: Ask the model to provide:
A summary of the report
Company details like name, ticker, sector, and industry
Bearish and bullish points
An overall assessment, along with the rationale
A snapshot of the market reaction
Global macro implications that might hint at broader economic trends
Expand & Scale: The beauty of this process lies in its scalability. By using batch processing and inputting a CSV with articles for multiple companies, you can extract information for all entities in one go.
Try it yourself! You’ll need the LastMile AI notebook (HERE) and the input CSV (HERE) to run it yourself.
Why This Matters
Beyond the sheer convenience, tools like LastMile AI can transform the way investment professionals operate:
Efficiency: Extract insights for multiple companies quickly and in a structured manner.
Consistency: Ensure that you're assessing each company using the same criteria, allowing for more consistent comparisons.
Depth: Get both a bird's-eye view and deep dive into the nuances, from global macro implications to market reactions.
The Future of Investment Analysis
Historically, the tools of the trade have been Excel, SQL, and Python. However, as technology continues to evolve, platforms like LastMile AI, in conjunction with tools like ChatGPT, are becoming the new norm. Investment professionals are increasingly integrating these advanced tools into their workflows, enabling more efficient and insightful analyses.
Conclusion
For those navigating the world of finance and investment management, merging the realms of large language models with financial services can unlock unprecedented efficiencies. Platforms like LastMile AI offer a tantalizing glimpse into this future, ensuring that even the most tedious tasks, like earnings analysis, can be made more accessible and insightful.
