Introducing Global Company Coverage
| 2 min read | by Alex HoffmannWe are thrilled to announce the expansion of our comprehensive AI analysis to all companies communicating with investors in English (i.e., almost all of them), regardless of their domicile or listing location.
In the past, our focus was primarily on US-listed companies, but we are now extending our Global Coverage to include major European players like Shell , AstraZeneca , ASML , Novo Nordisk , and SAP , and many more.
Technical Background
Companies listed in the US follow strict and uniform publishing standards, allowing seamless data access through the SEC’s EDGAR system. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires all publicly listed companies to file anything they believe to be material on their EDGAR system. They also require companies to publish the information in a structured format that is easily machine-readable.
The SEC also makes all this information available to the public for free without delay, and with only cursory restrictions on automated access of the data.
There is no equivalent system anywhere else in the world. Gathering raw data requires accessing a hodgepodge of databases from stock exchange operators, local regulators, ann individual company websites. All with different formats, pricing and licensing models, interfaces, and restrictions on automated access.
Furthermore, the data is often not easily machine-readable and requires significant effort to clean and structure it. Glossy PDF annual and quarterly reports, such as those common in Europe, have long been the end boss of any AI-driven qualitative analysis.
We are proud to say that we have now solved this problem.
