Cross-market analytics: Market Comparables

Written by Andrew Johnson | Nov 8, 2024 10:06:32 AM

In the third and final piece of our cross-market analytics series, we show how our Market Comparables provides a convenient and easy-to-use view of bonds and loans in market, by coverage universe.

Cross-market analysis is a vital component of credit research, but it’s a challenging and time-consuming process. Every analyst knows the pain of manually updating a ‘Comps sheet’, pulling the latest financial information from disparate models across multiple locations.

Fortunately, we’ve solved this challenge by aggregating all the data we process for every issuer in our universe and delivering it in one centralized view in our Comparables feature.

Previously in our cross-market analytics series, we focused on how our Company Comparables view enables easy company-to-company analysis and how our Sector Comparables view gives you a convenient top-down view of sector-level aggregates.

In our third and final piece, we focus on our Market Comparables.

What is the Comparables feature?

 

The Comparables feature offers a top-down view of all the key credit data we process. It’s built specifically to help credit analysts gain quick and differentiated insights into potential opportunities and determine relative value across companies, sectors and markets.

It’s made possible by our proprietary technology, which extracts financial data quickly and accurately. Built on native spreadsheet functionality, you can search, filter and evaluate our entire universe in just a few clicks.

The Comparables feature offers 3 different views of our data: Company, Sector and Market.

Introducing: Market Comparables

Our Market Comparables screen provides you with a complete list of bonds and loans across all issuers in the Cognitive Credit Application. Containing historical pricing and reference data provided by IHS Markit for thousands of tradable instruments, this view is updated daily and acts as a convenient source for all tradeable instruments across US and European credit markets.

As with our other Comparables views, the Market Comparables includes all standard features such as click-to-source auditing, dynamic charting, and the ability to tailor your view with up to 65 pricing and reference data metrics.

In our short walkthrough below, we highlight how our Market Comparables screen enables credit analysts to screen the market for timely investment ideas.
