Information
The Datastream service via WRDS provides access to a huge variety of global, cross asset coverage with long time series histories. Users can access around 1 million series & hundreds of fields/data items to pair within the WRDS service. This tailored package of content ensures major global indicators, fields, lists & benchmarks are available for analysis. Users should be aware that not everything that exists within the Datastream databases is accessible via WRDS. Refinitiv has plans to continually update the WRDS version of this data to bring it more in line with the stand-alone version over time.
WRDS users are able to access additional content not in Datastream such as SDC M&A, SDC New Issuance, I/B/E/S Guidance, I/B/E/S KPIs, and Global Ownership Holdings
