Communicating the strategy to investors
The fourth and final event of the cycle "Strategy and Communication"
What is the role of storytelling in today's financial market communication? Are numbers enough on their own or does the narrative component contribute to give meaning and perspective to financial data?
The panel Communicating Strategy to Investors, to be held in Sala dei 146 on Monday, October 27 at 5 p.m., aims to explore the theme of strategy and financial communication, with particular focus on the role of the equity story as a tool for dialogue between listed companies, investors and financial stakeholders
The equity story explains a firm's identity, long-term vision, strategic choices and ability to generate sustainable value over time. Through the equity story, numbers are given an interpretive context, while strategies become more understandable and coherent.
By bringing together listed companies, investors and academics, the discussion will open a space for reflection on: how much does a company's equity storytelling matters and how - together with number - it contributes to shaping market expectations and the company's reputation among investors.
The conversation will address, through real cases and experiences, key questions such as:
- How do companies build and communicate their equity story?
- Which quantitative and qualitative elements are most closely scrutinized by investors and analysts?
- How do markets integrate financial, operational, and narrative information in assessing performance and future prospects?.
