What is Tickerization? How to Unlock the Value of Your Data| AltHub
Think of Tickerization as assigning a label to each of your data points, connecting it to a specific company or industry for context and usability. Tickerization is the process of linking raw data to investable assets, such as publicly traded companies, via their stock tickers (e.g., MSFT for Microsoft).
For example, if you have data about online shopping trends, tickerization helps link it to companies like Amazon or Walmart, making it actionable for investors.
Why is Tickerization Important?
Tickerization is critical because it transforms raw, unstructured data into something meaningful, especially for the financial world. Here’s why it matters:
- Investment Insights: Helps data buyers connect trends to specific companies and industries, improving decision-making.
- Integration: Tickerized data is ready for financial models, saving analysts and investors time.
- Point-in-Time Accuracy: Reflects ownership changes (e.g., mergers or acquisitions) to ensure data relevance over time.
- New Revenue for Data Providers: Makes your data more valuable and marketable to financial buyers.
Who Benefits from Tickerization?
