On June 17, 2019, the Company expanded the scope of the pre-revenue analysis reports to now include companies located in Italy, Germany, Hong Kong and Japan in response to the increasing Refinitiv client usage of the North American reports currently in production.

The CapitalCube dividend analysis report provides powerful insights, analysis and scoring regarding a company’s dividend quality, yield, coverage, flexibility, payment history, peer comparisons and sustainability.
AnalytixInsight is pleased to be an AI-driven content provider to Refinitiv and believes that its ability to create scalable financial content on worldwide companies is being recognized with increasing importance as global industry leaders embrace analytics within the financial industry.
