In February 2024, S&P Global Inc., a portfolio company of Credit Suisse, Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, FleetBoston Financial, Gamma Investors, and HPS Investment Partners, acquired Visible Alpha, LLC, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citibank, Jefferies, Morgan Stanley Financial Sponsors Group, UBS, Bank of America, BNP Paribas Capital, Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division, Macquarie Group, Mouro Capital, Royal Bank of Canada, Wells Fargo Bank, and HSBC Bank.

Visible Alpha offers a cloud-based platform with various features for investment professionals. The company gathers data from sell-side analyst models (financial models created by brokerage firms) to create a comprehensive view of analyst consensus estimates for publicly traded companies. This includes forecasts for future financial performance, historical data, and assumptions used by analysts. Additionally, the company provides data at various levels of aggregation, allowing users to analyze individual analyst estimates, company-level comparisons, and industry-wide trends. The platform allows users to download sell-side models for further analysis and utilize tools like the Formula Bar to understand the rationale behind analyst estimates. In addition, the firm offers Visible Alpha BioPharma to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, providing a platform that combines drug development data with financial information for informed investment decisions.
