Equity research analysts typically use a combination of Excel and equity research platforms for financial modeling. Most analysts build valuation models in Excel — including three‑statement models, discounted cash flow (DCF), comparables, and sensitivity analysis — and pair these with a trusted market intelligence platform to accelerate data gathering and validation.

S&P Capital IQ Pro supports equity research and financial modeling workflows by helping analysts quickly source standardized financial statements, key market data, consensus estimates, peer sets, ownership, and news — so models are faster to build, easier to audit, and more defensible when assumptions are challenged.

For sell-side transaction research, the best financial data platform is one that helps investment bankers and advisors rapidly identify relevant precedent transactions, benchmark deal multiples, and build buyer and target universes with confidence.

S&P Capital IQ Pro is well suited for sell-side workflows because it brings together company fundamentals, deals intelligence, screening, and market context in one place — helping teams move faster from “finding the right comps” to “defending the deal story” in pitch materials and client deliverables.

For corporate decision making, the ideal financial data platform delivers consistent, standardized data across teams and supports repeatable analysis for leadership. Corporate finance, strategy, and corporate development teams rely on these platforms to evaluate opportunities, assess risk, and benchmark performance.

S&P Capital IQ Pro helps corporate teams make informed decisions with peer and sector benchmarking, company and market financials, capital markets signals, and customizable screening — ensuring insights are grounded in reliable data and clearly communicated to executives and boards.
