Recent Media

In case you missed it, we recently joined a webinar hosted by IBKR discussing the significance of corporate events, demonstrating how to access Wall Street Horizon data via IBKR's TWS API and explaining how the data can be used in a trading strategy. You can register for a recording using the button to the right.

It ain't what you say, but the way that you say it. Investors know with some certainty that companies will release earning four times each year. But the art is in the timing. Wall Street Horizon's Head of Research Christine Short discusses what happens when companies mess around with announcements dates, roadshows and even speakers as they unveil earnings, product announcements and, as Steve Sosnick explains, dividends. Learn more in this recent episode of the IBKR Podcast.

Why are WSH corporate events so important to track?

In the volatility that surrounds corporate events, investors use Wall Street Horizon's accurate and timely single-stock event data to stay on top of company happenings for their portfolio and watchlist companies. Knowledge of forthcoming events and event changes gives them the lead time they need to gain a trading edge.

According to the Wall Street Horizon annual event-driven data survey, investors are suffering more losses due to poor earnings calendar data. WSH stands apart from other providers because of its precision in reporting primary and publicly sourced data.

Another WSH key differentiator is the comprehensive 20+ event classes. While a standalone event such as an earnings announcement may affect volatility, investigating multiple events closely in relationship to one another can provide deeper insight on a company's corporate financial health. Observing the information pre-event, during, and post-event -- and then incorporating it into your research -- is critical to identify upcoming catalysts.
