Investor Relations & Corporate Executives

The role of investor relations has become increasingly more vital to the financial success of publicly traded companies especially given that intangibles like the caliber of leadership, the quality of products or services, and the ability to innovate and transform, contribute significantly to a company’s market valuation. 

Being able to effectively communicate your organization’s present value and potential opportunity for growth is crucial to maintaining the confidence of your stockholders and the analysts who influence your stock’s value as well as third-party rating agencies.  Having a thorough understanding of what the media and The Street are thinking and saying about your company as well as your competitors will help you communicate with confidence and conviction to these key stakeholders.
                                                        
No doubt, you subscribe to a variety of publications and services to help you keep your finger on the pulse of what The Street is thinking. If you’re like many investor relations professionals and corporate executives, you’re inundated with news clippings, e-mail alerts, brand monitors, analyst reports, and competitive analyses.  But how do you know what to pay attention to?

With First Coverage, you can:

• Receive filtered articles, blog postings and other commentary about your company, competitors, sector and industry, tagged with a bullish or bearish media sentiment indicator.  We’ll filter out the neutral communications, so that you can focus on the truly positive or negative commentary. 
• Understand public opinion, sentiment shifts, major market trends, and changes in the tone of the media, and infuse these variables, which are clearly moving the market, into your shareholder, analyst and executive presentations for a more holistic perspective
• Be better informed, avoid surprises and adequately prepare for institutional investor meetings by efficiently receiving and processing information previously ignored or lost in the noise
• Access a more accurate assessment of The Street sentiment and the recommendations that the sell-side is providing to portfolio managers about your company, competitors, sector and industry to better understand how this data may be influencing the buy-side’s investment process and analysts’ perceptions

First Coverage can help you turn random and broadcast communication into targeted insights that provide an accurate perspective of what The Street and media are thinking and saying about your company, sector, industry and competitors. 

Using a customized, state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP) engine, we scan thousands of mainstream media outlets and blogs. The NLP uses a proprietary financial terms dictionary and configurable scoring system to determine if any article, posting or analysis is negative or positive in nature.

We offer a cost-effective way for you to stay informed about what is truly happening in the market, so that you can proactively prepare for shareholder or analyst meetings and earnings calls, knowing what information to report, anticipating questions and formulating responses.
