If you do not see these features when running a company/ticker search, it is because it is still in beta. Check out this article to view information on your experience https://help.alpha-sense.com/en/articles/5986038-company-entity-page

What is the Company Profile?

Company Profiles are the new landing page for all your single company research and the fastest way to get up to speed on a company. Company Profiles intelligently curate data and content from the entire AlphaSense platform, including our new financial data sets, and make it easy to consume, dive deeper, and take action.

Company Profiles and Financial Data are currently in beta and will be rolled out to all users over the coming months. Depending on your beta status and where we are in our rollout, you may not have access to some of the features, functionality, and data mentioned in this article.

Accessing the Company Profile

To open the Company Profile page for any organization, simply type their name or ticker symbol into the Company & Ticker Search Bar


Overview

Access the "Overview" to get a synthesized summary of the company and understand the Earnings Summary across the entire industry. This is the best place to get up to speed on a single company, with curated content and data across all market perspectives and integrated AI workflows to help complete common tasks. Here you'll view the Latest Documents, Key Financials and Metrics, Performance vs. Peers, Key Expert Perspectives, Wall Street Insights, and Earnings Commentary for both the company you searched for and their industry.


Summary

The Summary page is your one-stop shop to get up to speed on a company and answer key questions like:

  • What does this company do?

  • Is it doing well?

  • What does the competitive landscape look like?

  • What does the market think?

This page provides foundational context, pulling together content and data across the entire AlphaSense platform, including your firm’s own content. Quick Links provide one-click access to the latest filings, earnings call transcripts, and Canalyst Models and Industry Comps, while Latest Documents helps you keep tabs on the latest developments so you’re never out of the loop.

With the integration of financial data, you’re now able to get both the numbers and the story behind them, providing a full 360° view on any company. The Financials & Metrics section provides a snapshot of a company’s financial performance and how it compares to industry peers.

We’re also weaving our AI capabilities into Company Profiles to make it easier to understand key themes and areas of interest for further research. This comes to life in a few places on the Summary page. First, the Expert Perspectives and Wall Street Insights sections let you compare perspectives on a company’s SWOT and competitive landscape and automatically surface insights from expert call transcripts and broker research reports. Next, the Earnings Commentary section gives you a synopsis of your chosen quarter’s earnings call with key takeaways, topics discussed, and even the sentiment around each topic.

Industry Earnings Summary

Once in the Industry Earnings Summary experience, you can use the Industry Map to toggle between industry-level summaries and individual company-level summaries. Adjusting your selection will automatically change the contents of the summary modules. If you’ve selected the industry as a whole, modules will summarize common topics, positives, negatives, and outlooks from across the top 200 companies based on market cap within that industry.

You can click on a bullet point from any of these modules to preview the various sources our model used to create that particular summary. Most of these summaries will have multiple sources because they summarize themes across multiple company earnings calls.

Additionally, you can adjust the timeframe from which these summaries are sourced. For the time being, we only provide summaries back to Q4 2023, but this will soon be expanded to at least a year of historical information.


Documents

Easily access Documents within the Company Profile that showcase key content sets: Expert Transcripts, Wall Street Insights, and Company Docs.


Expert Transcripts

Access Improved summaries from Expert perspectives directly from the Company Profile. Here, you'll now be able to see the type of expert, the other companies mentioned within the transcript, the type of transcript, page count, and date for relevancy.


Broker Research

You can now easily locate any Ratings and Changes from Top Brokers faster than ever before. You can quickly identify all relevant documents and even locate documents that contain any Upgrades & Downgrades, as well as Price Target revisions.



Under the Overview of Broker Research, you can also hone in on key reports such as Initiation of Coverage, Meetings with Management, Industry Reports, Credit Research, Commodities, and more.


Company Docs

With Company Docs you can easily identify any documentation around Earnings & Events, identify key filings, and see any other company documentation. Should you be looking for a specific document, I recommend utilizing the Search Company Docs feature.


Financials & Metrics

All Financial Data can be exported to Excel via the Export to Excel button.

Financial Overview

Select the "Financials Overview" tab to understand insights in regard to valuation, the financial overview, key metrics, and a chart to visualize key financial metrics and how they have changed over time.

The Income Statement comprehensively summarizes all key income metrics from the past 5 years and expectations for upcoming quarters. The columns with an (E) and highlighted in gray are yearly broker consensus estimates.

You have several methods of visualizing relevant metrics for a peer-to-peer comparison underneath Visualize Data. You can also manage the columns to add any additional information you may require for your analysis.


Charting
