What's the opposite side of that though?

That corporate leadership are always paragons of transparency and announce all details accurately, so that business-as-usual markets can correctly price the stock?

Corporate press releases are explicitly crafted to benefit the stock price.

If the content of a negative third party report is accurate, then its intent doesn't matter.

If corporate leadership has a rebuttal, they're welcome to share!

If the content of a third party report is inaccurate, then the company is welcome to sue for libel, I assume?

>What's the opposite side of that though?

The opposite doesn't exist, generally, because humans are still involved.

The opposite is whatever pro-company positions are publicized, in order to increase the stock price.

Are you saying corporate PR isn't a thing? Or that quarterly earnings presentations aren't carefully written?
