With 25% of Wall Street investors and 19% of Main Street investors reporting they use StockTwits and Twitter for investment news, IR needs to have a strategy in place to assure their voice is in the social stream – even if that strategy is using social media as a one-way newsflow of press releases. It’s an important tile in the shareholder communications mosaic.
One absolute benefit of social media for IR is that it’s easily monitored for real-time investor sentiment. This could be useful during crisis periods or a proxy battle. Our newly released Cision Communication Cloud™ will easily monitor the streams, topics and $cashtags that matter to your brand and shareholder value.

About the study
Initially launched in 2012, the Shareholder Confidence 365 Study is an ongoing survey targeted at two key constituents with whom public companies communicate: institutional investors and individual investors. It was the first study of its kind — directly asking investors how they consume investor relations content. In 2014, we published an updated study.
For this 2016 iteration, we have segmented and compared the results between institutional investors and individual investors. To date. we have accumulated over 6,870 responses from a pool of 16,000 buy-side analysts & portfolio managers and from over 15,000 long-term holding retail investors. There are 29 questions.
Questions include:
- How often do you visit IR websites?
- Why do you visit IR websites?
- Do you use Twitter for stock research?
- Would a CEO video instill trust?
- Do you use earnings estimates?
The inbound response ratio is 1:3, Wall Street to Main Street. All of the data is unedited, except for any typos within the comments and the exclusion of inappropriate comments.
