Q4 Brings Home the Gold in 2025 American Business Awards ®
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Q4 Inc., the leading provider of IR Ops software, is a double winner in the 2025 American Business Awards ®. Its AI-powered Q4 Platform — for driving investor relations (IR) productivity — earned a gold Stevie ® Award as best 'New Product: Financial Services.' The platform was also honored as best 'New Technology: AI Solution — Financial' with a silver award, with judges praising Q4 for 'making IR operations smarter and more strategic' with AI.
The American Business Awards are the U.S.A.'s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. — public and private, for-profit and nonprofit, large and small — are eligible to submit nominations. The program received more than 3,600 nominations this year.
Charting a bold new path for investor relations
IR professionals today juggle a wide range of demands — from streamlining time-consuming earnings preparation, to tracking shareholder trends, to mitigating execution risks — all in pursuit of stronger company valuations. But, their efforts are often stymied by disjointed technology solutions that yield fragmented insights and eat up (rather than save) time.
With consolidated tools and AI that's purpose-built for IR, Q4 helps IR teams — at McDonald's, Visa, Netflix, Spotify and more, including half of the S&P 500 — streamline workflows; deepen investor engagement; and drive smarter, high-impact decisions.
The judges weigh in

'Q4's innovative approach to investor relations is a game-changer.'
'Their platform provides IR leaders with the insights and tools they need to engage investors effectively.'
'With a powerful combination of AI, analytics, and investor intelligence, Q4 is making IR operations smarter and more strategic.'
'The Q4 Platform is an impressive AI-driven solution that addresses the complexities of investor relations with a comprehensive and user-centric approach.'
'The integration of AI to automate earnings script writing, anticipate analyst questions, and provide real-time, actionable insights significantly reduces the time IR professionals spend on routine tasks — leading to improved productivity and more strategic decision-making.'
'The platform's focus on consolidating various IR tools into a single, cohesive system is a major strength, eliminating data silos and improving reporting accuracy.'
Continued Q4 momentum
The award reflects Q4's strong momentum and industry leadership, and adds to the company's recent accolades, including wins in other Stevie Awards programs — such as the Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service and the International Business Awards ® — and in Best in Biz Awards.
'This latest honor from the Stevie Awards reflects Q4's commitment to push the boundaries of what's possible in investor relations — so IR pros can accomplish more and drive even greater value for their businesses,' said Q4 CEO Darrell Heaps. 'We're proud to lead the transformation of IR operations with data, AI and automation — giving companies the tools they need to stay ahead, refine IR strategies, and maximize their impact in the market.'

US stock futures little changed ahead of US-China trade talks
U.S. stock futures are little changed with inflation data due and possibly, some clarity on where the U.S. and China stand on trade issues and how the Senate may vote on the more than 1,000-page tax bill before it. The May consumer price index report, due midweek, could provide insight into whether the tariff rollercoaster is reviving inflation. It is the first full month of data since President Donald Trump announced his aggressive tariff plan on April 2. Many of the harshest tariffs have been rolled back or paused, but some have kicked in. Wholesale price data are due the next day and could give investors an idea of whether there is inflation coming down the pipeline to Americans. Wholesale prices are what businesses pay for their goods and services. At the end of the week, a new consumer sentiment reading from the University of Michigan also includes data on inflation expectations. Separately, officials from the U.S. and China are expected to hold trade talks in London, Trump said last week. The talks follow a phone call between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping after Trump accused China of violating terms of a tariff pause agreed on last month in Switzerland. At 5:45 a.m. ET, futures linked to the blue-chip Dow rose 0.12%, while broad S&P 500 futures added 0.12% and tech-heavy Nasdaq futures were flat. All three indexes closed higher last week, and the S&P 500 is now less than 3% from its record high. The S&P 500 topped the 6,000 mark for the first time since Feb. 21. Investors will also continue to watch the path of the One, Big Beautfil bill in the Senate after a public and fierce tit-for-tat exchange between Tesla chief executive Elon Musk and Trump over social media about the tax bill. Musk called the bill a "pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," and Trump called Musk "crazy." Cryptocurrency platform Gemini said it confidentially submitted a draft registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an initial public offering of class A shares. The IPO is expected after the SEC review process, it said in a release. Medora Lee is a money, markets, and personal finance reporter at USA TODAY.

TSX futures lifted by gains in metal prices; eyes on US-China trade talks
(Reuters) -Futures for Canada's main stock index rose on Monday, supported by gains in metal prices, as markets await a fresh round of U.S.-China trade talks later in the day. The futures on the S&P/TSX index were up 0.17% at 5:22 a.m. ET (9:22 GMT). All eyes will be on the high-stakes talks in London, where top U.S. and Chinese officials will attempt to defuse tensions that have recently expanded beyond tariffs to export controls over goods and components critical to global supply chains. The discussions follow a rare call last week between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Meanwhile, Beijing signaled interest in improving relations with Canada, as Chinese Premier Li Qiang and Prime Minister Mark Carney talked on a phone call on Friday, according to the Xinhua news agency. In the stock market, shares of metal miners might grab the spotlight as spot silver rose near 1% in the day, while gold and copper prices also edged higher. On the flip side, oil prices slipped on weak China data, but held on to most of last week's gains On Friday, Canada's main stock index rose to a new record high, led by gains in energy and technology shares, as oil prices advanced and U.S. and Canadian jobs data eased investor concerns about a possible recession. This week, global markets will focus on Wednesday's U.S. inflation report, which will shape expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. In corporate news, brokerage firm Barclays raised price target on major Canadian banks, including Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank and Canadian Imperial Bank.
