BVWire recently met with Derek Zweig, a valuation practitioner who saw the need for a more affordable source of financial data when doing a guideline public company analysis. In 2021, he founded Value Analytics, a firm that has developed a low-cost platform that provides preprocessed public-company financial statement and equity data, as well as customizable data analysis tools. BVR now offers the Value Analytics Excel Add-In, which provides direct access to financial, equity, and company profile data for all U.S. exchange-traded companies available in the Value Analytics database. The user gets unlimited access to data through the Excel plug-in, which also allows for integration into the user’s proprietary models. Price: $495 per year.
