AI-powered Q4 Platform earns 2 Stevie® Awards for improving IR productivity and results; Judges say ‘Q4’s innovative approach to investor relations is a game-changer’
TORONTO — May 5, 2025 — 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.
