The red carpet was rolled out for Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as Donald Trump hosted the Saudi delegation in Washington for a lavish visit on Tuesday. This was the Crown Prince’s first visit to the White House since Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed in October of 2018.

In a defence of the Kingdom, Trump was adamant that the Crown Prince knew nothing about Khashoggi’s murder. Trump also brushed away criticisms of Saudi Arabia’s human rights record, and referred to the Crown Prince as “a great ally.”

This is a remarkable turnaround since US intelligence indicated in 2021 that the Crown Prince had approved Khashoggi’s murder. In the aftermath, the relationship between the West and Saudi Arabia became increasingly strained. Saudi Arabia faced not just critiques from US Congress, but 36 countries (including all EU countries) provided a joint rebuke of its human rights record— several months after the murder in March of 2019.

The following month, US Congress voted to end US military assistance to Saudi Arabia over Riyadh’s conduct in the war in Yemen after it was accused of carrying out unlawful airstrikes on civilians. Though Trump would veto this measure to block the sale of millions of dollars in weapons to Saudi Arabia, tensions grew even further during Biden’s presidency. Refusing to fully condemn Moscow, Saudi Arabia refrained from joining in on sanctioning Russia after its 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Riyadh also rebuffed US requests to increase energy production to depress petroleum prices to undercut Russian oil sales.

Fast forward to 2025 and all is forgotten. At the black-tie dinner hosted at the White House, Trump announced that Saudi Arabia will be elevated to a “major non-NATO ally” allowing it to have quicker access to advanced US weapons systems without having to go through the same licensing protocols that other buyers would face.

In another coup for Saudi Arabia, Trump announced that the US will also sell 48 F-35 stealth jets and nearly 300 Abrams tanks. The sale of F-35s constitutes the first delivery of advanced fighter jets to a Middle Eastern state apart from Israel.

The F-35s have long been coveted by Riyadh as the jets are considered to be the most advanced in the world. F-35s are designed to avoid detection with sensors to gather information on its surroundings but also with strike capabilities to attack another fighter jet before it has even launched.

A deal mired in controversy

While Saudi-US relations appear to be stronger than ever, Israel is concerned that the Kingdom is receiving these jets without one of Trump’s main conditions—Saudi-Israeli normalization.

This sticking point was critical to Trump’s negotiations with the United Arab Emirates during his first term. Trump had initially agreed to sell fifty F-35s to Abu Dhabi, but this deal fell through due to US concerns that the UAE was becoming too close to China, making use of Huawei 5G technology.

And yet even though the F-35 deal collapsed, the UAE became the first Arab country in 26 years to normalize relations with Israel as part of the Abraham Accords. As Saudi Arabia has accused Israel of genocide and has clarified that a two-state solution is paramount to normalization with Israel, the prospects of expanding the Abraham Accords seem dim.

Israel’s other issue is that it will no longer have its qualitative military edge over other countries in the region, something that the US is required to maintain by law since 2008. Axios reported that an Israeli official voiced his concern that “it takes minutes for an F-35 to fly from Saudi Arabia to Israel.”

Another complication is that as Saudi Arabia and China have forged closer economic ties, critics of this deal fear that the Chinese could gain access to the aircraft’s technology.

Some countries have been banned from purchasing F-35s from the US, and Washington has restricted the aircraft from operating near advanced Russian or Chinese air defence systems as they could collect sensitive intel.

Though China has produced its own J-31 fighter jet that is comparable to the F-35 (which Beijing has still not acquired), the J-31 is reportedly easier to detect in the air making it a somewhat inferior product.

Why the Saudis want the F-35s

Does Saudi Arabia really need this type of aircraft in its arsenal? Military experts have noted that Saudi Arabia has mostly focused on the glitter factor of buying advanced weapons systems. Accordingly, image is more important than actual effectiveness, especially cost-effectiveness.

Flying an F-35 for just one-hour costs about $34,000 and upkeep is another issue. Because the paint coating these jets is designed to evade radar detection, this requires significant maintenance costs.

Saudi Arabia does not really need F-35s for specific or imminent threats, as it already has over 210 F-15s that it has used to bomb the Houthis in Yemen. Acquiring this type of military hardware is more about achieving the appearance of air superiority in the regional arms race, and to provide a deterrent against Iran. While relations with Tehran are currently on more solid footing, both countries will always regard each other as threats to their security.

With concerns that regional instability may undermine the realization of Saudi’s Vision 2030, this latest deal helps Saudi Arabia project an image of strength both in the region and globally. The sale also represents a much longer term commitment between the US and the Kingdom for greater cooperation in the future. With Trump’s support, Saudi Arabia is not only seeking to emerge as the undisputed regional superpower but to rehabilitate its image and maximize its global influence.

Summarize Any Stock’s Earnings Call in Seconds Using FMP API

Summarize Any Stock’s Earnings Call in Seconds Using FMP API

Turn lengthy earnings call transcripts into one-page insights using the Financial Modeling Prep APIPhoto by Bich Tran Earnings calls are packed with insights. They tell you how a company performed, what management expects in the future, and what analysts are worried about. The challenge is that these transcripts often stretch across dozens of pages, making it tough to separate the key takeaways from the noise. With the right tools, you don’t need to spend hours reading every line. By combining the Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) API with Groq’s lightning-fast LLMs, you can transform any earnings call into a concise summary in seconds. The FMP API provides reliable access to complete transcripts, while Groq handles the heavy lifting of distilling them into clear, actionable highlights. In this article, we’ll build a Python workflow that brings these two together. You’ll see how to fetch transcripts for any stock, prepare the text, and instantly generate a one-page summary. Whether you’re tracking Apple, NVIDIA, or your favorite growth stock, the process works the same — fast, accurate, and ready whenever you are. Fetching Earnings Transcripts with FMP API The first step is to pull the raw transcript data. FMP makes this simple with dedicated endpoints for earnings calls. If you want the latest transcripts across the market, you can use the stable endpoint /stable/earning-call-transcript-latest. For a specific stock, the v3 endpoint lets you request transcripts by symbol, quarter, and year using the pattern: https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={q}&year={y}&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY here’s how you can fetch NVIDIA’s transcript for a given quarter: import requestsAPI_KEY = "your_api_key"symbol = "NVDA"quarter = 2year = 2024url = f"https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={quarter}&year={year}&apikey={API_KEY}"response = requests.get(url)data = response.json()# Inspect the keysprint(data.keys())# Access transcript contentif "content" in data[0]: transcript_text = data[0]["content"] print(transcript_text[:500]) # preview first 500 characters The response typically includes details like the company symbol, quarter, year, and the full transcript text. If you aren’t sure which quarter to query, the “latest transcripts” endpoint is the quickest way to always stay up to date. Cleaning and Preparing Transcript Data Raw transcripts from the API often include long paragraphs, speaker tags, and formatting artifacts. Before sending them to an LLM, it helps to organize the text into a cleaner structure. Most transcripts follow a pattern: prepared remarks from executives first, followed by a Q&A session with analysts. Separating these sections gives better control when prompting the model. In Python, you can parse the transcript and strip out unnecessary characters. A simple way is to split by markers such as “Operator” or “Question-and-Answer.” Once separated, you can create two blocks — Prepared Remarks and Q&A — that will later be summarized independently. This ensures the model handles each section within context and avoids missing important details. Here’s a small example of how you might start preparing the data: import re# Example: using the transcript_text we fetched earliertext = transcript_text# Remove extra spaces and line breaksclean_text = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', text).strip()# Split sections (this is a heuristic; real-world transcripts vary slightly)if "Question-and-Answer" in clean_text: prepared, qna = clean_text.split("Question-and-Answer", 1)else: prepared, qna = clean_text, ""print("Prepared Remarks Preview:\n", prepared[:500])print("\nQ&A Preview:\n", qna[:500]) With the transcript cleaned and divided, you’re ready to feed it into Groq’s LLM. Chunking may be necessary if the text is very long. A good approach is to break it into segments of a few thousand tokens, summarize each part, and then merge the summaries in a final pass. Summarizing with Groq LLM Now that the transcript is clean and split into Prepared Remarks and Q&A, we’ll use Groq to generate a crisp one-pager. The idea is simple: summarize each section separately (for focus and accuracy), then synthesize a final brief. Prompt design (concise and factual) Use a short, repeatable template that pushes for neutral, investor-ready language: You are an equity research analyst. Summarize the following earnings call sectionfor {symbol} ({quarter} {year}). Be factual and concise.Return:1) TL;DR (3–5 bullets)2) Results vs. guidance (what improved/worsened)3) Forward outlook (specific statements)4) Risks / watch-outs5) Q&A takeaways (if present)Text:<<<{section_text}>>> Python: calling Groq and getting a clean summary Groq provides an OpenAI-compatible API. Set your GROQ_API_KEY and pick a fast, high-quality model (e.g., a Llama-3.1 70B variant). We’ll write a helper to summarize any text block, then run it for both sections and merge. import osimport textwrapimport requestsGROQ_API_KEY = os.environ.get("GROQ_API_KEY") or "your_groq_api_key"GROQ_BASE_URL = "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1" # OpenAI-compatibleMODEL = "llama-3.1-70b" # choose your preferred Groq modeldef call_groq(prompt, temperature=0.2, max_tokens=1200): url = f"{GROQ_BASE_URL}/chat/completions" headers = { "Authorization": f"Bearer {GROQ_API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json", } payload = { "model": MODEL, "messages": [ {"role": "system", "content": "You are a precise, neutral equity research analyst."}, {"role": "user", "content": prompt}, ], "temperature": temperature, "max_tokens": max_tokens, } r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload, timeout=60) r.raise_for_status() return r.json()["choices"][0]["message"]["content"].strip()def build_prompt(section_text, symbol, quarter, year): template = """ You are an equity research analyst. Summarize the following earnings call section for {symbol} ({quarter} {year}). Be factual and concise. Return: 1) TL;DR (3–5 bullets) 2) Results vs. guidance (what improved/worsened) 3) Forward outlook (specific statements) 4) Risks / watch-outs 5) Q&A takeaways (if present) Text: <<< {section_text} >>> """ return textwrap.dedent(template).format( symbol=symbol, quarter=quarter, year=year, section_text=section_text )def summarize_section(section_text, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024"): if not section_text or section_text.strip() == "": return "(No content found for this section.)" prompt = build_prompt(section_text, symbol, quarter, year) return call_groq(prompt)# Example usage with the cleaned splits from Section 3prepared_summary = summarize_section(prepared, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024")qna_summary = summarize_section(qna, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024")final_one_pager = f"""# {symbol} Earnings One-Pager — {quarter} {year}## Prepared Remarks — Key Points{prepared_summary}## Q&A Highlights{qna_summary}""".strip()print(final_one_pager[:1200]) # preview Tips that keep quality high: Keep temperature low (≈0.2) for factual tone. If a section is extremely long, chunk at ~5–8k tokens, summarize each chunk with the same prompt, then ask the model to merge chunk summaries into one section summary before producing the final one-pager. If you also fetched headline numbers (EPS/revenue, guidance) earlier, prepend them to the prompt as brief context to help the model anchor on the right outcomes. Building the End-to-End Pipeline At this point, we have all the building blocks: the FMP API to fetch transcripts, a cleaning step to structure the data, and Groq LLM to generate concise summaries. The final step is to connect everything into a single workflow that can take any ticker and return a one-page earnings call summary. The flow looks like this: Input a stock ticker (for example, NVDA). Use FMP to fetch the latest transcript. Clean and split the text into Prepared Remarks and Q&A. Send each section to Groq for summarization. Merge the outputs into a neatly formatted earnings one-pager. Here’s how it comes together in Python: def summarize_earnings_call(symbol, quarter, year, api_key, groq_key): # Step 1: Fetch transcript from FMP url = f"https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={quarter}&year={year}&apikey={api_key}" resp = requests.get(url) resp.raise_for_status() data = resp.json() if not data or "content" not in data[0]: return f"No transcript found for {symbol} {quarter} {year}" text = data[0]["content"] # Step 2: Clean and split clean_text = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', text).strip() if "Question-and-Answer" in clean_text: prepared, qna = clean_text.split("Question-and-Answer", 1) else: prepared, qna = clean_text, "" # Step 3: Summarize with Groq prepared_summary = summarize_section(prepared, symbol, quarter, year) qna_summary = summarize_section(qna, symbol, quarter, year) # Step 4: Merge into final one-pager return f"""# {symbol} Earnings One-Pager — {quarter} {year}## Prepared Remarks{prepared_summary}## Q&A Highlights{qna_summary}""".strip()# Example runprint(summarize_earnings_call("NVDA", 2, 2024, API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY)) With this setup, generating a summary becomes as simple as calling one function with a ticker and date. You can run it inside a notebook, integrate it into a research workflow, or even schedule it to trigger after each new earnings release. Free Stock Market API and Financial Statements API... Conclusion Earnings calls no longer need to feel overwhelming. With the Financial Modeling Prep API, you can instantly access any company’s transcript, and with Groq LLM, you can turn that raw text into a sharp, actionable summary in seconds. This pipeline saves hours of reading and ensures you never miss the key results, guidance, or risks hidden in lengthy remarks. Whether you track tech giants like NVIDIA or smaller growth stocks, the process is the same — fast, reliable, and powered by the flexibility of FMP’s data.
