Arne Slot could do no wrong last season, when he led Liverpool to a record-equalling title without so much as breaking sweat in his first campaign in England.

But the Midas Touch has deserted the Dutchman this term, with the Reds slumping to a sixth defeat in their last seven outings in all competitions on Wednesday night.

Liverpool’s 3-0 loss at home to Crystal Palace in the Round of 16 of the Carabao Cup was their heaviest in Slot’s time in charge and the third time they have lost to the south Londoners in three different competitions in three months.

Palace beat Liverpool on penalties in the Community Shield, the traditional curtain-raiser of the English football season back in August, before defeating them 2-1 in the Premier League at the end of last month.

The team Slot fielded at Anfield on Wednesday night bore little resemblance to the one that was denied a point by Eddie Nketiah’s injury time winner at Selhurst Park on September 27.

The Dutchman made 10 changes to the team that lost 3-2 at Brentford on Saturday night, with Milos Kerkez the only player retaining his place in the starting XI.

Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitike, Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Dominik Szoboszlai were all omitted from the matchday squad, while Alexis MacAllister, Andrew Robertson, Wataru Endo and Federico Chiesa were the only senior players in the starting line-up.

Arne Slot’s selection gamble backfires

It was a bold call, but one which backfired spectacularly as Palace scored twice through Ismaila Sarr in the last four minutes of the first half, before the excellent Yeremy Pino added a third late in the second half.

Slot, however, defended his team selection insisting his hand was forced by the circumstances.

“At this time with only 15 players available in our squad,” he told reporters after the game.

“And to add to that, this club has always used this competition for academy players, it felt to me as the right decision.

“And I haven’t changed my opinion about it since the result because with our starters we haven’t been able to win a lot from Palace as well.”

He then told BBC Radio 5 Live that Liverpool’s “squad is probably not as big as people think it is”.

There were some mitigating factors to Slot’s team selection.

Club record signing Alexander Isak was injured, as were Curtis Jones, Ryan Gravenberch and Jeremie Frimpong.

Furthermore, Liverpool face a difficult run of fixtures, with Aston Villa due at Anfield on Saturday night, before Real Madrid arrive on Merseyside three days later.

The Reds, who are already seven points behind league leaders Arsenal, then travel to Manchester to face City in their last game before the international break.

There is a possibility Liverpool enter the 10-day hiatus on the back of six consecutive Premier League defeats, an unthinkable prospect when the Reds sat alone at the top of the table after winning their first five league matches of the season.

And yet, while injuries have limited Slot’s options, his warning over the depth of the squad at his disposal came as a surprise.

This, after all, is a manager who embarked on a record spending spree in the summer, splurging £446.5m ($598m) on players, the most any club has ever spent in a single window.

Isak arrived from Newcastle on transfer deadline day for a British record £125m ($167m), surpassing the benchmark Liverpool had set in June when they acquired Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for £116.5m ($156m).

Ekitike, the Premier League’s third most expensive signing of the summer, also moved to Anfield for £79m ($106m) from Eintracht Frankfurt.

Kerkez and Frimpong, meanwhile, revamped Liverpool’s options at full-back at a combined cost of £76.5m ($100.6m).

“I saw a team struggling to play three games in seven days. It’s not an excuse,” Slot continued.

“To lose a game of football is not a complete surprise, because I could see the struggles some players had in pre-season.

“It’s also a new challenge for players that came from different leagues to play in the Premier League and Champions League.

“In two days we play Villa, and the last time I played a player when we thought he was ready, was Alexander Isak and he went out with injury.”

At the same time, Liverpool’s season was never going to be defined by the Carabao Cup, which is bottom of the pecking order when it comes to the priorities of Premier League clubs.

And yet, losing to Palace will only pile on the pressure on Slot, whose normally calm demeanour has disappeared over the past five weeks.

Liverpool face crucial run of games

The next three fixtures could sour his mood even further.

Villa haven’t beaten Liverpool since October 2020, losing seven of their next 10 meetings in all competitions and haven’t won at Anfield in 11 years.

But if history is firmly behind Liverpool, Villa arrive on Merseyside on the back of five consecutive wins in the Premier League, the most recent of which came on Sunday when they beat City at home for the third consecutive season.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, extended their lead at the top of LaLiga to five points after beating Barcelona 2-1 on Sunday and have a perfect record in the Champions League after three games.

As for City, they have already lost three times in the Premier League but remain a point ahead of Liverpool in the table.

Last season marked the Reds’ first win at the Etihad in the Premier League in a decade and Slot could do with repeating the feat next month.

“There are many reasons why we’ve lost five out of six or six out of seven,” he said in his press conference on Wednesday night.

“None are good enough to accept losing so many, and I can come up with arguments but none will be enough to go to that standard because Liverpool losing so many is always too much.”

Liverpool are in the middle of a historically bad run of form and no other team in Europe’s top five leagues has lost as many as games as they have over the past month.

And while being knocked out of the Carabao Cup will not move the dial, it exacerbates the need for an immediate response over the next three weeks.

Slot may have had the Midas Touch last season, but even title-winning managers can run out of credit at some point.

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.
