excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.

Frequently asked questions
The Kering Luxury Conglomerate
Kering Group is a French company with global operations that owns and operates various brands focusing on luxury goods. Through companies like Gucci, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen, the company sells apparel, accessories, jewelry, and other related products to a global consumer base. The company focuses on enabling its subsidiaries to act with creativity and modernity while also being mindful of their heritage, a strategy that is not uncommon for luxury brands. Kering is headquartered in Paris and is listed on the city’s Euronext Exchange.
Timber Trading and Expansion
What is today one of the largest luxury conglomerates in the world started down an unconventional path when compared to competitors like LVMH and Hermès. What is today the Kering Group was started by François Pinault as a timber trading company called Établissements Pinault in Rennes, France. The company quickly found success and made several acquisitions, rapidly expanding and eventually listing on the Paris Stock Exchange in 1988 under the name Pinault S.A.
Moving Into Luxury
It was after going public that the shift away from timber trading started in earnest after the company went public. François Pinault made several acquisitions of retail companies and department stores. Between 1999 and 2004, the transformation into a luxury conglomerate started to take place as the company acquired Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Yves Saint Laurent, as well as signing several large partnerships. Pinault’s son, François-Henri, took over the reins of the company in 2005 and has served as its CEO and chairman since. Kering got its current name in 2013.
