Earnings call transcript signal extractor for equity research analysts, catalyst-driven hedge funds, and BD teams. Parses earnings transcripts (fetched or provided) to surface:

• signals (P0/P1/P2): guidance raise/cut, miss/beat vs consensus, buyback, dividend change, new product, executive change, capex shift, M&A intent, regulatory risk, competitive threat, supply chain, hiring
• kpis_mentioned: Revenue, EBITDA, EPS, FCF, Gross Margin, Operating Margin with YoY/QoQ %
• guidance: raised / maintained / cut / new_initiated items extracted
• q_and_a_topics: top Q&A themes detected (AI strategy, China exposure, M&A pipeline, macro, etc.)
• overall_tone: bullish / neutral / bearish

Sources fetched automatically: SEC EDGAR 8-K filings, Yahoo Finance earnings news, Motley Fool transcripts. If no transcript can be retrieved from any source, returns status:'failed' with an explicit warning and empty signals — never fabricated data. Accepts transcript_text override for direct analysis. Supports multilingual transcripts (de/fr/es/zh). European tickers (SAP.DE, BMW.DE) mapped to EDGAR-compatible equivalents automatically.
