Understanding a company’s financial position requires more than just analyzing revenue growth, profitability, and cash flow. While these traditional metrics offer a snapshot, they often overlook critical insights buried in footnotes and disclosures. To gain a true financial perspective, investors must look beyond the income statement and uncover the hidden details that impact real earnings.


Join Bloomberg and New Constructs for an exclusive webinar exploring how AI-driven financial analysis enhances accounting transparency to reveal underestimated earnings. Discover how Bloomberg Indices integrates New Constructs’ proprietary data to develop systematic strategies that identify companies whose true financial strength is often overlooked—creating a unique opportunity for accounting alpha.
