Sell-side analyst coverage data provides a rich source of establishing connections between firms, as analysts (given their industry expertise) are likely to cover fundamentally related firms. In this webinar, our experts will discuss how to build a network of connected firms using sell-side analysts’ coverage data, as well as propose several broad applications of this network including:

• Quantifying economic relationships between companies using a connected-firm network. Is this approach to determining company relationships superior to other methods such as customer-supplier and sector groupings?
• The role of the network in influencing a firm’s corporate financial policies such as leverage and equity issuance.
• Using information from a company’s connected-firm network to improve forecasts of company fundamentals.
• The performance of stock selection strategies constructed from connected-firm networks. Do complex connected-firm networks provide a better opportunity to harvest alpha compared to simple networks?
