News & Sentiment alternative data provider ยท 1 listed dataset

Amenity Analytics is a natural language processing (NLP) text analytics platform that extracts sentiment and actionable signals from unstructured financial text, including regulatory filings, earnings call transcripts, ESG documents, news, social media, and research reports[1]. The technology is now offered as Symphony Analytics following its acquisition by Symphony, the markets infrastructure and communications platform[1][2].

Amenity's platform served portfolio managers, research professionals, analysts, and other financial markets participants, combining machine learning, NLP, and sentiment analysis to build customizable datasets from complex text sources[2][3].

What It Does

The platform allows users to identify actionable signals in unstructured text: scoring sentiment on companies and topics, tracking themes across filings and transcripts, and surfacing ESG-related disclosures. Symphony describes the analytics as driving insights for buy-side research and other financial markets use cases[2][1].

Data and Methodology

Amenity's approach combines machine learning models with sentiment analysis tuned for financial language, applied to sources such as regulatory filings, earnings call transcripts, ESG reports, news, social media, and research reports[1]. Company profiles describe a text analytics SaaS platform that lets customers build datasets and customize signal extraction from unstructured data[3].

Products and Delivery

Under Symphony, the product is branded Symphony Analytics within Symphony's Analytics Platform, with a web portal for transcript and filing viewers and a REST API documented on the legacy Amenity developer portal[1]. Symphony markets the capability as part of a secure AI framework alongside its messaging, voice, and directory platforms[1].

Buyers and Use Cases

Target users are portfolio managers, research professionals, and analysts at financial institutions[2]. Coverage of the acquisition highlighted ESG analytics as a key capability Symphony gained through the deal[4].

History

Symphony announced the acquisition of Amenity Analytics as part of its markets strategy, with trade press reporting the deal as adding NLP data analytics and ESG capabilities to Symphony's offering[2][4]. The Amenity brand now appears as Symphony Analytics, with the amenityanalytics.com API portal retained for client support[1].

Questions to ask Amenity Analytics

Which sources are licensed versus scraped, and what happens to continuity when a license lapses? What is feed latency from publication to delivered score? How do you disambiguate entities with common names and complex hierarchies? Are historical scores recomputed when models change, or shipped point-in-time? How long is the clean backtest history across asset classes?

Compliance and legal considerations

Public-web collection can be constrained by site terms, database rights, copyright, privacy law, and source-specific licenses. Buyers should verify provenance for each series, whether raw content is redistributed or only derived measurements are delivered, and how source-access changes are documented over time.
