🧠 The ChatGPT Trick That Turns SEC Filings Into Crystal Balls

May 19, 2025

Most investors look at earnings.

Some even read transcripts.

But almost no one digs into the real blueprint:

How executives are financially incentivized to move the stock.

Let’s be blunt:

  • A CEO with RSUs vesting at $120 doesn’t care about your cost basis.

  • A CFO whose options expire next year might suddenly “find” new efficiencies.

  • A founder who just reset their comp plan? Might want the stock to drop first.

This isn’t speculation. It’s strategic behavior.

And with ChatGPT, you can now see it before Wall Street reacts.

đź’Ą Case Study: One Prompt, One Filing, Total Clarity

We asked ChatGPT to analyze the executive compensation section of a real proxy filing.

Here’s part of what it returned:

“The CEO has 500,000 performance-based RSUs that vest only if the stock price exceeds $140 by December 2026.

The CFO’s options have a $95 strike and expire in mid-2025.

Given the current stock price of $101, both executives are likely to focus on maintaining upward stock momentum in the short-term, potentially through margin expansion, aggressive guidance, or share repurchases.”

Let that sink in:
