Our take
In an uber competitive equity market, investors of all stripes are looking for different ways to find an edge over their peers. For B2C companies with a great deal of activity, one such method is driving insights from consumer data.
Consumer Edge responds to this increasing demand for accurate, timely consumer spending data. The company is focused on providing best-in-class alternative data products and tools. On top of these alternative data-sources, the company delivers boutique insights, data feeds and templates to ensure actionable insights can be derived in a timely fashion.
Recently, it has become clear that Consumer Edge is seeking inorganic growth with targeted acquisitions of competitors in the space, largely in international markets. For example, an acquisition of German-based Qentis has boosted their client base considerably while offering new opportunities for synergies with the leading provider of privacy-compliant European transaction data.
