Who it’s for
One dataset. Four ways in.
For traders & investors
Check the historical base rate of an event class before acting on it — day-0 reactions, 5-day drift, reversal rates, per ticker.
For institutions
License the reference event-reaction dataset: 26M+ news records, peer-reviewed methodology, a decade of continuous institutional use.
For public companies
Know how the market treats announcements like yours before you announce — every press release scored against 20-year baselines.
For partners
Publisher partnerships and dataset licensing: your news catalog, outcome-labeled with measured market reactions.

The question only we answer
Price-action tells you the chart rhymed. We tell you the event repeated.
News Quantified
“The last 400 times this event hit — earnings beat, downgrade, 8-K, insider buy, rumor, guidance — here is the actual reaction distribution.”
Ground-truth labels computed in-house, anchored at time-of-news, measured across pre / main / post sessions. No price-data vendor has 20 years of event-to-reaction labels.
What you can build
One dataset, four jobs.
Backtesting & research
Pull 20 years of point-in-time labeled reactions to backtest event-driven strategies with zero look-ahead bias.
Agent grounding (MCP)
Give an AI agent ground-truth event reactions over MCP — answer “what happens after this event” with real distributions, not guesses.
Signals & features
93 engineered features per event — see the realized reactions they label, per ticker and per news event.
Event monitoring
Track labeled events and their reactions as they happen — a live, queryable watchlist of market ground truth.

One call, the whole picture
The whole picture, in one call.
An agent asks one question: given this event, on this name, what is the distribution of outcomes? The answer is the ground truth across every comparable event in the dataset — returned with its spread and its leakage guarantee, not a single point estimate that hides the variance.

Why it can't be rebuilt
You cannot backfill 20 years of point-in-time reactions.
01
Point-in-time, not reconstructed
You can't recompute how a stock reacted to historical news after the fact. The labels were captured as events happened — accreted continuously since 2006.
02
The label is the IP
The proprietary value is the in-house reaction computation, not the news text. It is source-independent: we monetize derived reaction labels, not raw newswire bodies.
03
A new entrant starts today
Anyone copying this begins labeling now and waits a decade for depth. The moat is time, and it compounds every trading day.
Independently validated
A peer-reviewed study built on ten years of News Quantified data — independent, and it validates the exact thing we sell.
Levi, Livnat, Zhang & Zhang (2016) — researchers at Tel Aviv, NYU Stern, Rutgers, and UC Berkeley — found that on news days, extended-hours returns positively and significantly predict the next regular session and the quarter-long drift. The realized reaction even subsumes the earnings surprise itself.

Questions
Do you provide real-time stock prices?
No. NQ delivers news and corporate events with ground-truth reaction context and inference. We are not a market-data feed. What scales across tiers is how fresh the event delivery is and how deep the reaction history goes.
What counts as a credit?
One tool call. Lookup tools cost 1–2 credits, analytics tools 3–5, fund-flagship tools 8–10. The exact cost is shown per tool and is identical on the MCP and the REST API.
Why can't I see today's events on Free?
Free is for building and evaluating against historical events. Current-day event delivery starts on Builder ($49/mo).
Do credits roll over?
Monthly credits reset each cycle. Annual plans bill upfront, include two months free, and roll unused credits forward within the term.
What happens when I run out?
Free stops at the cap. Paid tiers continue at the per-tier PAYG overage rate. You can set a spend cap.
Can I export the full history?
Bulk export and the full 20-year labeled history are Enterprise. Self-serve tiers are metered, per-call access.
MCP or API: does my plan cover both?
Both. One credit balance, one rate limit, used however you call us.
Can I resell NQ data inside my product?
Scale and Enterprise include B2B2C terms. Builder and Pro are for your own use.
