Imagine being the first to know when a public company mentions a specific word or topic in an earnings call, and then instantly jumping into the call to listen to what they have to say about it. From mentions of products, market trends, and key metrics to announcements of spin-offs, strategic reviews, special dividends, or even CEO changes – crucial information is now within easy reach using Keyword Alerts in the Quartr Mobile App.

Be The First To Know Crucial Insights

Let’s look at an example of the value Keyword Alerts can provide. As of 2023, digital advertising was the fastest growing and most profitable segment for South American e-commerce giant MercadoLibre. Natural Keyword Alerts for MercadoLibre would therefore be, you guessed it, “advertising” and “ads.” Then, as soon as the company mentions those particular keywords in any of their events – you get notified and can jump straight into the transcript where it was mentioned.

Had you set this Keyword Alert up before MercadoLibre’s Q2 2023 earnings call, you’d have been notified when former CFO Pedro Arnt discussed the company’s continued technology investments for the advertising business.

“We've recently launched a new loyalty program. We continue to invest heavily in technology for our advertising business. And really there are multiple vectors of growth and that's what we're trying to continue to be very consistent on, which is taking a long-term view and trying to capture as many opportunities as we can and continuing to maximize market share while delivering operational leverage over longer periods of time.” – Pedro Arnt, CFO

Discover Hidden Gems

You should also consider using Keyword Alerts for monitoring broader terms to discover companies discussing specific topics. For instance, imagine setting a keyword alert for "FCF per share" and having it introduce you to a powerhouse like CACI International. A company with an $8 billion market cap, providing software, hardware, and vital engineering services to various branches of the U.S. federal government, spanning defense, homeland security, intelligence, and healthcare.

An alert for “FCF per share” would’ve notified you of CEO John Mengucci’s repeated mentions of the company’s dedication to the free cash flow per share metric, highlighting it as the core metric driving long-term shareholder value.

Of course you have to delve deeper than that, but in this case, it seems like the CEO wasn’t just talking. Over the past two decades, CACI has showcased impressive growth in its FCF per share, boasting a CAGR of nearly 26%. The stock returned roughly 15,800% over the same timeframe.

The real magic lies in being ahead of the curve, and that’s what the Keyword Alert feature allows you to be. So, how does it really work?

When your keyword gets mentioned in events such as earnings calls, capital market days, and investor conferences, you receive a notification. What’s even better is the flexibility it offers. You can either set alerts for specific companies you’re interested in or cast a wider net and draw from the App's extensive global database spanning 9,000+ companies.
