Sentiment Indicates Stabilization as Covid fears decline
Net sentiment, the difference between positive and negative language used in earnings calls, is now back to a level prevailing in 2019, marginally improved for the sixth consecutive quarter from its all-time low of 1Q 2020, when the pandemic was at its most disruptive.
The improvement in sentiment coincides with a further reduction in the number of mentions of Covid and other health-related words in earnings calls and undoubtedly reflects improving corporate profitability as well as the recovery seen in regional equity markets.
