Verizon Communications : Yahoo Finance Launches Subscription Offering for Retail Investors

NEW YORK - June 13, 2019, 12pm ET -- Yahoo Finance, Verizon Media's leading business and financial news site, today launched its subscription offering for retail investors, Yahoo Finance Premium.

This new service gives investors a deeper look at the data and fundamentals essential to everyday returns, paired with third-party research, enhanced charting with event analysis, and sophisticated company profiles to gain new insights and make smarter investments. Yahoo Finance Premium is integrated into Yahoo Finance's existing desktop and app products; investors can chart, screen and analyze new data sets -- all in one place. Key features include:

• Premium Data and Charting: Investors can identify new opportunities through short and long term valuation metrics and automated pattern recognition for technical analysis.

• Advanced Portfolio Analytics: Get tools to measure portfolio performance and allocation, manage risk and volatility, and increase returns across multiple linked brokerages.

• Research Reports and Investment Ideas: Browse, search, filter through a rich library of research reports, drafted by third-party analysts or identified through algorithms. Discover actionable investment ideas on stocks that are trending or relevant to the companies you follow, updated daily.

• Company Profiles: Go beyond fundamentals by evaluating key alternative data metrics against sector averages. Users can gain better insight into hiring, innovation and supply chain dependencies, from operational KPIs (sector-specific metrics) to an innovation index (patents, trademarks, FDA).

Yahoo Finance Premium serves as a one-stop destination for subscribers, providing all of the tools and information needed to make informed investment decisions and act upon them.
