Find articles on companies based on stock price activity
The news database Factiva has a special search functionality. It shows you a graph of a quoted company's stock price activity and connects it to news articles published on specific dates.
This mean that you can use the stock price activity to locate newspaper articles from a long list of news sources. Just select a specific date on the graph and Factiva will display only those articles published one week before to one week after this day. If you are only interested in articles from a specific day, you can choose that afterwards.
It is also possible to make comparisons using a defined index e.g. OMX and in this way pick up on fluctuations not related to the general changes in prices. Or compare with another company.
How to do it:
- Go to Factiva
- Click the Companies / Industries menu tab
- Enter the company name in the search box and select from the results list
- Click the small picture of a graph "stock price activity"
- Then you are guided to a page with a larger clickable graph.
