News & Sentiment
News and sentiment data is text — news articles, regulatory filings, earnings-call transcripts, and social media — scored by algorithms into structured measures of tone, relevance, and novelty for companies and markets.
The primer
News and sentiment data turns unstructured text into structured signals. Providers ingest news wires, regulatory filings, and earnings-call transcripts, then resolve the entities mentioned and score tone, novelty, and relevance in real time. Quant teams fold these scores into short-horizon models; fundamental teams use them to monitor event flow across a watchlist. Key buyer questions are entity-resolution accuracy, latency, language coverage, and the length of the back-tested history.
The register
Every news & sentiment provider on file. Verified means the site is live, on its own brand, and editorially checked — never paid placement. Listings are informational, not investment advice.
