FAQS

DataLab for sell-side teams

DataLab gives sell-side ECM teams real-time access to comparable deal data including terms, discounts, structure, underwriter participation and aftermarket performance across deals that priced hours, days or years ago. Analysts can pull and format comps sets in minutes without chasing the syndicate desk or public filings. Global coverage across 50+ regions means international precedents are equally accessible. 

Data exports directly to Excel for pitch books and presentations, and the DataLab Excel Add-In powers existing spreadsheet workflows providing a flexible alternative to API data integrations.

DataLab’s league tables rank underwriters by fees, dollar volume, wallet share and performance across sectors, regions and deal types globally. Reports are updated in real time as deals price. ECM teams can filter by sector, deal type or region to benchmark their own performance and track competitive positioning.  

DataLab provides pricing and structure data across 38,000+ historical transactions including IPO price ranges and revisions, pricing discounts, aftermarket performance, fee economics, and manager roles. Sell-side teams can filter by sector, region, deal size and deal type to build pricing rationale with live market context. The IPO Pricing, IPO Structure, Follow-on Pricing and Follow-on Structure reports give deal-level detail on offer price, discount, size, structure and underwriting terms. For convertible bond transactions, CMG captures coupon, premium, % of par and much more.

XC for sell-side workflows
