Enhanced company comparison reports use supply chain relationships as a source for comparable companies

Written by FactSet Insight | May 7, 2014

The company comparison reports provide an intuitive interface that allows you to compare a target company to its peers. Three new options are available as sources of comparable companies using relationship data from the FactSet Revere Supply Chain Database:

  • Named by target company – the target company has named the comparable companies as competitors 
  • Named by competitors – the comparable companies have named the target company as a competitor
  • All named competitors – combines the named by target, named by competitor, and Hoover’s data
 
Additionally, new drop-down menus allow you to select the source of comps and the number of comps shown in the report.
