  # Best Financial Research Software - Page 4

  *By [Nathan Calabrese](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/nathan-calabrese)*

   Financial research software helps portfolio managers and other investment professionals locate, sort, and analyze relevant data to help shape the investment decision-making process. These solutions contain search functionality, access to the latest financial market information, and other tools to aid financial services professionals in their research and analysis.

The main function of financial research software is to provide financial analysts and investors with easy access to key documents, estimates, market news, and financial statements. Solutions in this category also may offer custom reporting, contain risk analytics features, perform stock screens, and include charting tools. Financial research software helps investment professionals manage the analytics and market evaluation critical to portfolio selection by offering them access to massive data sets and the tools to analyze that data. Analysts and other finance professionals use these solutions to keep up to date on the markets, issue market predictions, offer investment advice, and shape their own investing process.

Financial research software is typically offered as a standalone solution, but one that integrates with trading software and other [financial services software](https://www.g2.com/categories/financial-services).

To qualify for inclusion in the Financial Research category, a product must:

- Aggregate and provide real-time access to financial market news and key documents
- Provide access to macroeconomic data, company information, transaction information, and capital structure information
- Contain tools for analyzing financial data

### 24. [AlphaStoсks](https://www.g2.com/products/alphasto-ks/reviews)
  AlphaStocks is a stock screening and analysis platform that scores US-listed stocks from 0 to 10 using five time-tested investment methodologies — Piotroski F-Score, Buffett Quality Assessment, Graham Fair Value, Lynch PEG Ratio, and Greenblatt Magic Formula — combined into a single composite rating. Unlike screeners that dump raw financial data, AlphaStocks tells you what the data means. Each stock gets a 4-axis score across Quality (is the business strong?), Value (is the price right?), Momentum (is the trend favorable?), and Timing (should you buy now or wait?). Seven sector-specific calibration profiles ensure banks aren&#39;t scored like tech companies. The scoring formula is walk-forward validated: designed on 2021–2023 data, then tested on 2024–2026 data the model never saw. Result: +8.4% annual alpha over the S&amp;P 500 with 40% less drawdown.
