Top Recommendations

Our top recommendations for getting information about companies are listed based on what type of companies you need. You can always Ask Us for specific recommendations.

Large Amounts of Data

Many databases limit how much content you can download and prohibit scraping. If you're working on a large research project (e.g. as a PhD student, research assistant, or for a thesis) you may need to use other sources.

Use these reports for expert insight into public companies. If you need bulk access to analyst reports for a large academic project, please contact us.

These Knowledge Base articles will tell where you can find buy/hold/sell recommendations, analyst estimates, consensus estimates, company guidance, and corporate credit ratings. These are helpful when you want to see what financial experts think about the health and future trajectory of a firm.

Search Across Company Documents

If you want to know what companies are saying about themselves and their industry, turn to their annual reports, SEC filings, press releases, earnings call transcripts, etc.

SEC Filings

SEC filings are key reports U.S. public companies are required to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings include company's financial statements, proxy statements, and other announcements of material events or changes to the company.
