worldscope

Worldscope is a global financial data service that collects, standardizes, and disseminates company-level fundamentals for publicly traded firms worldwide. It is designed to enable researchers, analysts, and investors to compare financial performance across markets using a common reporting framework.

The database typically includes annual and quarterly income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, and related metrics, harmonized to common units and currencies. In addition to core financial statements, Worldscope provides company identifiers, metadata, and historical coverage spanning several decades, supporting longitudinal analysis and cross-country studies.

Coverage is broad, spanning developed and emerging markets, with data curated from primary filings and company disclosures, supplemented by editorial quality checks. The data are commonly accessed through enterprise data platforms, research terminals, or API integrations, often alongside market data and other corporate actions.

Worldscope has been marketed by major financial data providers and has been integrated into broader data catalogs, notably within Refinitiv's offerings following industry consolidations. Availability and formats may vary by provider, but the core value proposition remains standardized, historical company fundamentals enabling comparative analysis across jurisdictions.
