In today’s information overflow you’ve probably experienced how hard it sometimes is to find the true facts, especially in investing. Going straight to the first-party data can give you cleaner, more accurate insights into your companies and industries of interest. Our Slide Search feature was built with this in mind, and it enables you to scan any specific mention in slide presentations from 9,000+ public companies in seconds.

The Public Markets in One Search Engine

Our database contains slide presentations, earnings calls, audio-connected transcripts, and earnings reports from 9,000+ public companies. One of the most appreciated features in the Quartr Web App is that this first-party data is fully searchable in one search engine – our Master Search.

Slide Search is a key component in the Master Search. Each individual slide in our database is extracted and detached from its PDF, making every mention from millions of slides searchable.

It basically enables you to search for anything: a metric, a competitor to a company of interest, a specific topic, or even a product, it doesn’t matter.

For example, by searching for “Financial Targets” in our Web App, you get all financial target-related slides across the public markets aggregated within seconds.

Searching for "Financial Targets" gives an overview of all slides containing company targets

Research Industries and Topics in Seconds

One more example. Let’s imagine you own stocks in LVMH and they have an upcoming Q4 report two weeks out, you’ll probably want to do some research on the outlook of the overall luxury market in preparation, right?

Doing this has never been easier, just type in “outlook” in the Quartr Web App’s search bar and filter for industry of choice, in this case we’ll go with “Apparel, Accessories, and Luxury Goods.” This leaves us with 1,167 slides from companies like Ermenegildo Zegna, Burberry, and V.F, visualizing the companies’ outlooks.

1,167 is many slides to go through however, but we’ve got a solution – add another filter for time. Let’s go with the last six months. This slims the result down to 126 slides from companies in the luxury industry talking about their outlooks, forming a great foundation for your luxury market research.

In Conclusion

Slide Search lets you search for keywords in presentations from 9,000+ public companies. Our hope is that you’ll never have to visit an investor relations page again – and certainly not thousands of them – which would be the case if you’d want to produce the results of Slide Search manually – but you still wouldn’t be able to search through them.
