Financial Data

Financial data is a key facet of the fundamental information offered to Magic™ users.

Extracted by ProfileData's research department from the annual and interim reports issued by listed companies, the financial data found in Magic™ makes it easy to spot growth trends, profit patterns or cashflow crunches.

Vital Statistics

Just like you wouldn't buy a car without knowing the size of the engine and the probable fuel consumption, you shouldn't buy a share without knowing a few key facts. With Magic™, getting a handle on a company's vital statistics is as quick as glancing at a familiar spreadsheet.

Key features of the financial data in Magic™ include:

  • detailed figures going back 10 years
  • brilliant spreadsheet-style view
  • standardised models making it easy to compare companies or periods
  • all data captured 'as published'
  • customisable templates – see only the data you want to see
  • data conveniently organised by income statement, balance sheet, cashflow statement, ratios and share statistics

More Than Raw

Financial data in Magic™ is not just about the raw numbers – standardised ratios and per-share statistics are part of the deal. See at a glance if turnover is growing faster than the share price, or if profits are underpinned by cash.

For the trader and private investor, the financials in Magic™ offer quick access and an immediate overview. For the professional investor or analyst, Magic™ offers the added benefit of restated financials and an online library of glossies (full annual reports in electronic form, usually PDF).

Further Analysis

In Magic™ ANALYST and Magic™ CORPORATE, financial data can be exported to Microsoft® Excel (or other formats) for in-depth analysis or manipulation.

Three Views

The financial analysis tools in Magic™ GOLD, Magic™ ANALYST and Magic™ CORPORATE include three awesome views of financial data:

Single company analysis

Spreadsheet-style tabular view of income statement, balance sheet and cashflow items, ratios and share statistics for a single company. Up to 10 years history: finals, interims and quarterlies (where applicable).

Comparative analysis

Tabular view of financials across comparable companies (eg, multiple companies from one sector for one or more financial periods).

Line-item analysis

Allows you to assemble data for one or more line items (ie, profit, turnover, RoE, etc) across multiple companies and multiple time periods.

In Magic™ ANALYST and Magic™ CORPORATE the data assembled by the application in each view can be exported to Excel for further analysis.
