Trial to Investext Research Reports

Through March 7, we have a trial to Investext Research Reports. These reports can now be found within the Thomson ONE database. If you run a search for a company and scroll down on the profile page for that company, you’ll see in the lower left corner “Latest 5 Research Reports.” These are the Investext reports that we have trial access to. Here is what it looks like when you bring up the profile page for Google:

Thomson ONE--research reports from Investext

 

Other ways to retrieve reports:

  • Click Company Views and select Research. One may retrieve reports issued in the past 90 days or earlier to the past year or do a custom search of a time period. One may also search for reports by specific providers.
  • Click Screening and Analysis and select Research. Reports going back five years are available, or a custom time period. More search options are available than under Company views. Keyword searches are possible.

I’ve added a link for “Investext Research Reports” to the Trials tab on the Databases page. If you are sharing news of this trial with departments you work with, it is worth mentioning that:

  • you must use Internet Explorer
  • the link says “Investext Research Reports” but you will actually be in Thomson ONE, as this content we have trial access to is an add on to our existing subscription

Financial Segment Data for Multinationals

Students in MGT4880 are writing papers about crises faced by multinational companies. As part of this assignment they need to collect data on the geographical and business segments of their companies over the the time before, during, and after the crisis event. The best database to use for these revenue statistics is ThomsonOne.  Students should search for their company and then use the “Fundamentals” tab (at the top of the screen).  The Reuters Fundamentals cover multiple years with data that can be downloaded to Excel. Geographical segments often include country-level as well as a regional breakout of revenues.

ThomsonOne also includes historical company filings for international companies that can help students put the financial data in context.

ThomsonOne is available from the Library’s databases page as well as the Subotnick Center.
