Actionable Insights to Keep You Ahead of the Market
and industries you invest in- and you need it right now. FirstRain gives you timely updates on all your companies,
markets and industries. It also reveals patterns, changes and events, delivering strategic analyses you can use
to achieve early-mover advantage.
Prepare for Critical Meetings and Earnings Calls in Minutes
Preparing for an earnings call or management meeting, or looking for meaningful color for your daily client calls, FirstRain quickly provides the reports you need to be most effective. A FirstRain company brief includes everything you need to get an up-to-the-minute snapshot of that company:
- A quick summary of the last six months of news and events about the company
- Analysis of business structure, including competitors and the hot industry topics impacting the company
- Announced and unannounced management changes
- List of current management
- Earnings call transcripts and analyst comments
- Latest news and events on the competition
- Latest news and events on the industry
Insights that Generate Ideas
When you're researching companies and industries, you need to see the trends and relationships that trigger investment ideas. With FirstRain, you can associate a company with a set of topics (from a list of thousands of topics) and see how those topics impact that company and its market. You get in-depth information that relates to the company, its competitors and its market, filtered from the full breadth of industry sources, including blogs - even if the company isn't mentioned explicitly. A keyword search of the web or static database just can't give you that.
FirstRain is easy to configure, so you can track:
- Companies
- Markets trends and dislocations as they unfold
- Products
- Competitors
- Major customers and/or targets
- Relationships between all these
- Changes in management, both announced and unannounced
- Changes to business structure
- Hot topics/industry trends
Easy Access Within Your Work Flow
You can access FirstRain directly through the web portal, through customized email updates and RSS feeds, or through FactSet Research Systems, Capital IQ (a Standard & Poor's business) or the Dun and Bradstreet DNBi platform. Aspects of FirstRain intelligence are also available through the Mergent Online platform, and in the Stock Research Center on Fidelity.com.
