As 2025 draws to a close, it’s worth pausing to reflect on a year that saw major expansion, new products, and meaningful additions to ExtractAlpha’s technology and machine learning capabilities. These developments reinforce our commitment to rigorous data, global perspective, and delivering actionable insights for institutional investors.
Expanding Our Data Universe: New Markets, New Signals
One of the biggest shifts this year was geographic and dataset expansion. In January, we launched our Sell Side Coverage Matrix, a dynamic framework that defines peer groups based on overlapping sell-side analyst coverage rather than static industry codes. This gives quant teams a more meaningful way to benchmark stocks and improve signal performance across diverse universes. ExtractAlpha
In July, we rolled out the Toyo Keizai Japanese Data offering, unlocking decades of independent earnings forecasts, strategic commentary, and flash reports for Japanese equities, including mid- and small-cap names often ignored by mainstream coverage. This dataset is structured, point-in-time, and built for quant-ready workflows. ExtractAlpha
Those two launches alone significantly broaden our global reach and improve our coverage depth, giving clients more flexibility, especially in markets where traditional data products remain sparse.
We also launched the India and EMEA Alpha Bundles, extending our commitment to global universes and regional specialization. ExtractAlpha
Collectively, these expansions strengthen ExtractAlpha’s mission: deliver globally relevant, high-quality datasets for investors who want alpha generation without compromise.
Integrating ESG Analytics
In February, ExtractAlpha acquired ESG Analytics and established ExtractAlpha Labs under the leadership of Qayyum Rajan. The initiative reflects a broader commitment to developing investment tools that combine machine learning, alternative data, and rigorous analytics.
External Validation: Industry Awards & Peer Recognition
This year brought meaningful recognition from outside ExtractAlpha, validating our work on a public stage. In May 2025, we were named Best Alternative Data Provider at the WatersTechnology Asia Awards, a major nod to our innovation, product quality, and commitment to institutional-grade data delivery.

Shortly before that, we won Most Innovative Alternative Data Solution – a recognition that reflects both our product development pace and our ability to anticipate evolving investor needs. ExtractAlpha
These accolades reinforce what many of our clients already know: in a crowded alternative data market, ExtractAlpha stands out as a reliable, research-driven, global partner.
Taking everything together, 2025 solidified ExtractAlpha’s position as a global, diversified data provider with serious depth.
As markets continue to evolve across regions, regulators, and macro regimes, having a data partner that invests in breadth, quality, and research matters more than ever.
Looking ahead to 2026, we’re committed to expanding coverage, enhancing our analytics suite, and continuing to share insights. If 2025 was about building, next year will be about scaling, refining, and delivering even deeper value for systematic investors.
Here’s to a data-driven, alpha-rich 2026.
