Visible Alpha's industry-leading content, developed from granular sell-side analyst models, will be available to the flagship platform's users as an add-on offering.
"Bringing Visible Alpha onto S&P Capital IQ Pro extends and deepens the value proposition for our clients. Visible Alpha is the trusted source for granular historical financials and consensus estimates, and as a result, critical in understanding market expectations for companies at a level of depth that was previously very difficult, time consuming and inefficient to uncover," said Warren Breakstone, Head of Data & Research at S&P Global Market Intelligence.
