With the Miami Hurricanes making their first National Championship Game appearance in 23 years, it’s safe to say that “The U” is back.

The college football program that spawned some of the greatest NFL talent in recent decades is finally back on the national stage. For the first time in over two decades, Miami can call themselves true championship contenders once again.

While the current team obviously still has to finish the job against a favored powerhouse team in the undefeated Indiana Hoosiers – the ‘Canes are 8.5-point underdogs – it’s hard not to feel the excitement in the air in South Florida.

A number of some of the all-time greatest Hurricanes players congregated at Seminole Hard Rock & Casino in Hollywood on Saturday night for the “ReUnion.” Hurricanes legends such as Ray Lewis, Michael Irvin, Devin Hester, Ed Reed and Edgerrin James all participated in a back-and-forth discussion regarding the current team, what being an alumni of the ‘Canes is all about and why it’s so important to the South Florida community that “The U” is back.

Others ‘Canes greats such as Clinton Portis, Jeremy Shockey, Jonathan Vilma, Jon Beason and D.J. Williams were also present.

“It means a lot,” said Shockey about the ‘Canes return to prominence. “It definitely means a lot what we carried before we won that championship, before the other championships before us. That means a lot to us, and I know it means a lot to these guys. Knowing how much they care and how they play in a couple of days, it’s an amazing feeling. It’s just a very great feeling to be back in this situation as we were 24 years ago.”

Portis, who was Shockey’s teammate on the last national championship team at Miami in 2001, said he’s not surprised that the ‘Canes were able to advance to the College Football National Championship in their first College Football Playoff appearance.

He said once they got in, the stars “aligned” for the Hurricanes to get this far.

“Once they got into the playoffs, it kind of aligned,” said Portis. “I think they have been playing good ball all year. You had the two games where they slipped up. But other than that, they had been playing good ball. I think it was just a matter of getting everybody healthy, and that kind of happened at the right time. Getting C.J. Daniels back was huge. Mark Fletcher really leaning on him in the playoffs throughout this run, and then with the defense playing how they’ve been playing, the defense has been playing lights out. That’s how you win games in the playoffs and these months is through defense and running the ball.”

Shockey agreed with Portis’ assessment, saying the ‘Canes are playing “hot” right now which is how they’ve been able to make a big run despite barely making it into the College Football Playoff as one of the last selections.

“I agree, I think coming in this tournament, it’s a new tournament they actually just got a couple years ago,” said Shockey. “It’s about who is playing hot right now, just like college basketball, March Madness. I like our team. We’re playing great defense right now. We’re playing great defense and offense, Carson Beck is doing a great job.”

Both Portis and Shockey ended up becoming NFL stars with each of them emerging as All-Pro and Pro Bowl players. While both of them would experience success as high draft picks, their experience at Coral Gables is one of a kind and carries over to this day.

“That’s what I’m doing, hanging out with UM greats,” said Portis. “Sometimes it feels surreal to look around the room. You realize you got four or five Hall of Famers sitting in the room, which is in casual conversation, and those are your friends. It’s dope to have this opportunity to be with the guys. Then you see guys like Shockey. Shockey is one of my all time favorite players. Reggie Wayne. When you look at those guys, the U was loaded. For the U to be so small and have this much production around the NFL is crazy.”

When asked who is going to emerge victorious, both ‘Canes greats unsurprisingly picked the underdogs to win in their home stadium. The Hurricanes are the first team in the College Football Playoff era to play the CFP National Championship Game in their home stadium.

“I think the Hurricanes are going to win, 28-21,” said Shockey. “I think at halftime, Miami is going to be up and Indiana will come back. But we’ll win by a touchdown.”

Hester said the key for the ‘Canes to pull off an upset is by getting pressure on Heisman Trophy quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Shockey can see where Hester is coming from.

“I would say the exact same thing – get pressure,” said Shockey. “The quarterback not making any turnovers. They haven’t done it all year, let’s let Indiana play from behind. If we get up 7-to-10 points, let them play from behind, see how it goes. I like our defense.”

Portis said he just needs the ‘Canes to win by “one point.” He predicts the final score will be 27-24 in favor of Miami.

“I just need ”The U” to win by one point,” said Portis. “They did everything I needed them to do. I don’t know what the score would be because Indiana is capable of scoring. We’re capable of scoring. Both teams got defense. If I just had to make a prediction, I would say 27-24.

When asked if he thinks it’ll come down to the final drive, Portis said “it wouldn’t be shocking.”

“Every game has so it wouldn’t be shocking,” said Portis. “You get to this game, I think every game has come down to it. We just need to be in the lead when it happens.”

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.
