TIKR

tikr.com

Editor’s pick Hands-on review

Global equity research terminal and screener focused on fundamental analysis. Free plan provides US-only coverage with 3Y/4Q history, 1Y of analyst estimates and 90 days of transcripts, while Plus unlocks global data on 100,000+ stocks across 92 countries and 136 exchanges with 10Y/12Q history and 2Y of estimates; Pro extends to 20Y*/40Q financial history, 4Y of estimates, segment-level financials, global transcript history and Excel exports. Premium plans are paid subscriptions (monthly or discounted annual) backed by a 14‑day money‑back guarantee rather than a free trial. The browser‑based TIKR Terminal has no dedicated mobile app or public API/Excel plug‑in, focuses exclusively on common equities (no preferreds or bonds) and, per the help center, currently does not provide a short‑interest dataset.
