A news module contains information from Reuters’, Dow Jones, the FT, as well as M&A news and rumors from BvD ZEPHYR. AMADEUS also contains security and pricing information and links to an executive report with comprehensive charts, in addition to a report that compares the finances of the company’s default peer group. AMADEUS also includes ratings. A company tree diagram instantly illustrates the group structure.
