Benchmarking Tools for the Corporate Suite
HOBOKEN, N.J.—June 11, 2006—CapitalBridge, the market intelligence unit of London-based Huntsworth Plc, has introduced FastComps and CompsPlus, two tools that help companies evaluate their quantitative and qualitative positions against their peer groups.
FastComps displays normalized operational and financial data in grid formats and is delivered on demand, according to a company announcement. CompsPlus includes full common-size financial statements, written comparisons of the most important metrics used to value a company, qualitative commentary describing how each company matches up to its industry peers. It also provides an executive summary with graphical displays that allow for integration into presentations to the investment community.
The products are said to bridge the gap between sell-side research and publicly available filing data and the internal needs of investor relations, corporate finance, and treasury professionals seeking access to analysis on custom-defined peer groups.
“Investor relations officers, senior management and corporate boards can see their comparables data within a common framework,” said Chris Taylor, CapitalBridge's managing director, in the announcement. “This allows IROs to build knowledge of their company’s competitive position internally and better communicate its competitive strengths externally.
The products can be combined with company’s perception research to include investment decision-makers' feedback on each data point.
