E-E-A-T for corporate & investor relations sites

Short answer

E-E-A-T, Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness, is the concept Google uses to assess content quality. For corporate and IR sites, E-E-A-T is strengthened by: official sources and data, clear entity credentials (identity, governance), accuracy and disclosure, and consistency across channels. It is also a trust signal for AI engines.

The four elements
