Whilst US focused, there is the option to include a search for organisations outside the States.

Zephyr is a comprehensive database of deal information containing data on M&A, IPO, private equity and venture capital deals. Detailed financial information on the companies involved is also included. Content is updated hourly and covers information on rumours as well as announced and completed deals. In addition Zephyr features analysis of the rumours, data verification, and foreign language deals translated into English and customisable league tables across a range of sectors targeted by LSE students.

Bloomberg

The Library has four Bloomberg terminals which provide access to the Bloomberg Professional service, located on the Data PCs in the group study areas on floor 4 of the library. Bloomberg contains near real-time and historical financial information on individual equities, stock market indices, fixed-income securities, currencies, commodities, and futures for both international and domestic markets. It also provides company profiles and financial statements, analysts’ forecasts, news on worldwide financial markets, and audio and video interviews and presentations by key players in business and finance.
