Is Investor Relations Really That Important for Our Investments?

I've been diving into the world of investing lately, and I keep hearing about the role of investor relations in companies. Some say it's crucial for understanding a company’s long-term vision and performance, while others seem to think it’s just a bunch of fluff that doesn't really impact our bottom line. I'm curious what you all think! Have you ever found value in the investor relations materials, like earnings calls or press releases? Do you pay attention to how a company engages with its investors, or is it more about the numbers for you? Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!
