700,000 M&A deals added
The Discovery team have been hard at work merging and linking a completely new data set called Factset of over 700,000 M&A deals to company profiles, so that you can accurately analyze strategic moves made by any company:
Increase in number of results for your search query in the Merger & Acquisition data list page.
Improved analysis and accuracy on the Merger & Acquisitions tab for a company profile.
Improved data linking and accuracy for the Company Corporate tree feature.
Interactive charts on company profiles
The charts on the Patent, Funding, Investment and News tab of a company profile are now interactive. This is so that you can dive deeper into the analytics and view the data records for those charts.
Information panel related to your search query
For the keywords (organizations and topics) that you enter into the search bar, you will be able to view a preview of information for each keyword. This is to give you quick access to the pages that directly match your search query. You can use the tabs to switch between keywords.
