Bloomberg Research
Bloomberg’s robust research management solution tools allow you to get the document intelligence you want quickly, access both estimated and actual company financial data, and bring all your findings into one Research and Analytics Platform.
Our Bloomberg Research Management System (RMS) allows you to collaborate and share findings quickly, ensuring ideas flow seamlessly across the team.
Find useful data quickly
Document Search helps you leave no stone unturned
We’ve upgraded the Terminal with a powerful Document Search tool powered by natural language processing and AI analytics. This technology helps you cut down hundreds of millions of documents to find the most relevant results to your query and currently trending topics.
Access one of the largest libraries of financial information
Document Search lets you cast a wide net across broker research notes, company transcripts, filings, presentations, press releases, internal research notes and other premium content such as Bloomberg Intelligence (BI), Bloomberg New Energy Finance and U.S. Federal Litigation.
Bloomberg annotation tools enable you to highlight, comment and share insights with the team and get back to your findings.
Extract key insights with AI-Powered Earnings Call Summaries
Our AI-Powered Earnings Call Summaries tool enables users to decipher complex financial information on topics addressed by corporate management teams, such as guidance, capital allocation, hiring and labor plans, the macro environment, new products, supply chain issues and consumer demand.
Dive deep on company financial data
Essential metrics at your fingertips
Through Bloomberg research tools, you can access actuals and estimates for all key measures of a company’s financials. This includes detailed breakdowns of a company’s operating metrics, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), business segments, income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statements.
This includes consensus estimates for key metrics (100+ per company) lined up to the company reported values.
Track newly released financial data in real time
Compare actuals to estimates as soon as a company reports earnings. Get a comprehensive picture of whether the company has beat or missed broker expectations within minutes — helping you save time and react quickly during earnings season volatility. See example in action.
Benchmark company performance vs competitors on industry KPIs
Bloomberg’s KPI Comparison tool allows for comparison across key industry metrics to better understand how peers stack up on the measures that really matter. Analyze trends in the most relevant industry-level KPIs across a peer group to find out which companies are the strongest performers in the industry and visualize macro trends.
Bring all your research into a single tool
Integrate with our Bloomberg Research Management System (RMS)
With RMS, you can store your firm’s research workflows in one central repository, with the ability to share the latest information across your team. Fully integrated into the Bloomberg Terminal with support for all major asset classes, it’s designed to manage and advance all your internal and external research management needs.
All of your uploaded research is accessible and searchable through dedicated research management dashboards, as well integrated throughout Bloomberg Terminal functions like Document Search.
Inter- and cross-firm communication is easier than ever with Instant Bloomberg (IB) and other Terminal collaboration tools. And there’s no need to abandon your other useful tools. The RMS works seamlessly with — and accesses Bloomberg data from — other add-ins like Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Google Chrome.
