The new service, designed specifically for CEOs, CFOs and investor relations staff, will enable better-informed operational and investor relations decisions and reduce information, data and time costs.

The Market Reports Service is available to both main market and AIM listed companies, and will allow management to monitor constantly the market related activity of competitor companies as well as their own, facilitating decision making and augmenting board and meeting reports with concise, consolidated performance data from source.

The Service enables companies to design their own customised reports based on the following information:

  • Intraday open, high, low and closing prices •
  • Five years’ historic closing prices
  • Peers and indices tracking for comparison and rebasing purposes
News and trading activity analysis:
  • Intraday RNS announcements plus two years’ history
  • Share price and volume impact analysis of news events
Share ownership data:
  • Share register analysis to an ownership threshold of 0.05%
  • Peer comparison reports
Broker forecasts:
  • Recommendations and forecasts
  • Consensus level and individual broker estimates for two years future performance
David Lester, Chief Information Officer at the London Stock Exchange, said:

“Senior management demand up to date information on the market activity in their stock to ensure they are constantly aware of investor sentiment. The London Stock Exchange is maximising the benefits of its position as the ultimate source of UK market information by offering its main market and AIM customers an affordable information tool that will help them to make appropriate investor relations decisions.”
