The U.S. SEC is considering a rule change that would allow companies to choose between quarterly and semiannual earnings reports. This follows renewed calls from President Donald Trump.

He argued that reporting every six months would reduce costs and allow executives to focus more on running their businesses rather than meeting short-term targets. Speaking on CNBC’s Squawk Box on Friday, Atkins noted that he has already discussed the plan with Trump and sees it…
