Compustat, also known as S&P Compustat, is a database of financial, statistical, and market information on active and inactive global companies throughout the world.[1] The service was launched by American credit rating agency Standard & Poor's (now S&P Global Ratings) in 1962.[2]
This database provides products directed at institutional investors, universities, bankers, advisors, analysts, and asset/portfolio managers in corporate, M&A, private capital, equity, and fixed income markets.[citation needed] The database covers 99,000 global securities, covering 99% of the world's total market capitalization with annual company data history available back to 1950 and quarterly data available back to 1962 (depending when that company was added to the database).[2]
