In order to enhance the transparency of the information and reduce the information asymmetry between the company and the investors, Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) required that company need to upload audiovisual records to the platform for public when the company hold the conference call after June 2013 as a reference. This study mainly researches on the relationship of conference call video information and future earnings response coefficient (FERCs). The empirical results show that through the characteristics of the audiovisual records’ tone, the investors can change the expectations of the future earnings response coefficients, and then reaction on the stock price. In the condition of the conference call was held by company its own, the more positive ratio of tone on presentation time of conference call, the higher the future earnings response coefficient (FERCs), as well as the ratio of tone on presentation time of director or CFO.
