NL Analytics is a platform to interact with text-based corporate disclosures.

Last updated 20 days ago

We want to help researchers and analysts to obtain insights about the economy from text-based corporate disclosures with a simple but powerful platform.

Our platform is designed to intuitively interact with text-based corporate disclosures - from to associated with the topic to about the topic directly from the text.

At its core is a search engine that can provide answers to questions such as: Which companies have positive sentiment about the current inflation? What is the risk that executives associate with a country over time? How does the risk related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine compare with the risk related to supply chains?

As of mid-2025, our text data consists of more than 400,000 earnings calls held by about 14,000 listed firms headquartered in over 82 countries.

It is built on our founders' peer-reviewed research in top economics and finance journals including The Quarterly Journal of Economics, The Journal of Finance, and The Review of Economic Studies.

It is designed to break down the barriers in working with text-based data; no prior knowledge in Python or other programming languages is needed to use our platform's capabilities.
