On 13 May 2026, a new seminar was held as part of the STEER research project, entitled “Executive Temporal Distance Language and Analyst Recommendations After Negative Earnings Surprises: Does Gender Make a Difference?”, delivered by Zeki Simsek, a professor at Clemson University.

During the session, the seminar addressed how the language used by management teams following negative corporate results can influence financial analysts’ recommendations, whilst also incorporating a gender perspective into the analysis. The study presented, based on a longitudinal analysis of companies between 2006 and 2022, provided an opportunity to discuss the implications of strategic communication in the fields of corporate management and financial markets.
