Key Features

Flash Headlines

Flash headlines get the news out fast to the subscribers to Alliance News professional services. We use both people and machines to achieve the best possible combination of speed and relevance. With the help of AI, we get the main figures out instantly, while our reporters look for the less-obvious news that may be the most market-moving. Major announcements are proceeded by our unique 'Get Ready' feature, setting out consensus expectations.

SA Briefing

The essential pre-market read for traders and investors. The opening call for the FTSE JSE Top 40 index and London FTSE 100, what markets in NY and Asia-Pacific have done overnight, and the rand, gold and oil. Market movements are put in context of the key overnight company and economic news.

Extra

Extra reporting on the day's key news stories, with more detail, more analysis and more market reaction. It is our next-day newspaper article, but on the same day.

Broker Ratings

Broker ratings, both changes in recommendation and price target, are provided as Flash headlines. Alliance News casts a wide net to collect as many broker rating changes as possible on the listed companies that we follow.

Broker Notes

Broker Notes set out the reasons given by analysts for key broker rating changes. Alliance News summarises the broker note, adding market context and background about the company.

In The Know

Alliance News puts subscribers 'in the know' by bringing together the contrasting opinions of multiple analysts of a listed company, or we look at one or more broker views across a single sector. By comparing broker views, we help investors come to their own conclusion.

Executive Interviews

Alliance News goes beyond the earnings call to interview chief executives and chief financial officers one-on-one.

Week Ahead

Published every Friday, this is your one-stop-shop to prepare for the key market moving events of the days ahead. Find out who's reporting, which central banks are meeting, and what economic data are due. But the Week Ahead isn't just an events calendar, we drill down into the key market risk events to reveal what is expected. It is the best way to 'Get Ready'.

Earnings Previews

What to expect from major company earnings. Market consensus for profit, revenue and dividend. Prior guidance from the company. And recent events that could spring a surprise.

Central Bank Previews

Will the bank cut, hike or hold? By what vote split? And how will the decision be presented in the post-meeting press conference? We bring together all the views from the market, together with economic and political context of the policy decision.

SA and Global Calendars

We provide calendars of South Africa company and global economic events as news items for the week ahead. We also offer global company and economic calendars as daily csv files going out a full 12 months ahead.
