Diligent partners with S&P for market insights reports

Diligent has announced the introduction of Market Insights Reporting, a collaboration with S&P Global Market Intelligence that offers corporate directors and executives detailed financial and risk insights.

The new reports, integrated into Diligent's One Platform, provide timely, contextualised insights into global financial data and peer performance. These include market sentiment, analyst consensus, peer developments, and industry analysis, aimed at helping leaders manage market and investor risks. Diligent's platform is used by over 1 million users and 700,000 board members and leaders worldwide.

Mark Davis, Board Director at Yext, emphasised the increasing complexity of the risk landscape faced by corporate directors: "Today's corporate directors are navigating an increasingly complex and fast-moving risk landscape. Staying ahead of these dynamics requires more than traditional reporting—it demands timely, contextualised insights that empower leaders to anticipate risks and seize opportunities. Boards need tools that bridge the gap between raw data and actionable insights to drive informed, strategic decisions."

The reports integrate S&P Global Market Intelligence's financial data with Diligent Boards, offering insights concerning a company's market position. This enables a curated data delivery, allowing leadership to understand investor risks clearly.

The key benefits of Market Insights Reporting include access to comprehensive market data such as peer comparisons, stock charts, key developments, and market analysis. Users also receive tailored insights in a consistent format, designed for corporate directors, CFOs, general counsel, and CEOs, facilitated within Diligent's board portal.

Brian Stafford, President and CEO of Diligent, stated, "This collaboration with S&P Global Market Intelligence underscores our commitment to delivering actionable and reliable market insights to our customers. Market Insights Reporting will elevate how boards and executives access and utilise financial data, ensuring they are always prepared to make informed decisions that drive their organisations forward."

Warren Breakstone, Global Head of Data and Research at S&P Global Market Intelligence, expressed excitement about the collaboration: "We are excited to work with Diligent on this innovative capability. By integrating our financial insights with Diligent's governance technology, we are assisting boards and executives to navigate the complexities of today's financial landscape with greater confidence and clarity."

Keith Fenner, Senior Vice President and General Manager of International (EMEA and APAC), highlighted the challenges Australian businesses face due to market dynamics: "With the rapid pace of change in both global and domestic markets, Australian businesses face unique challenges such as supply chain disruptions and the ongoing cost-of-living pressures."

Diligent's partnership with S&P Global Market Intelligence ensures Australian directors and executives access timely, locally relevant insights, empowering them to make better decisions with actionable insights. This collaboration offers invaluable support in managing risks and capitalising on growth opportunities, helping Australian businesses thrive in an increasingly competitive, complex landscape shaped by evolving regulatory pressures.
