How to Use Alpha Research
We use Alpha Research to conduct our analysis on Apple Inc. (AAPL). Enter AAPL in the search box, and Apple’s press releases, annual reports, quarterly reports, and other information are displayed in chronological order on the left. The right side provides some content of these files and allows the user to add research indicators (asset-liability indicators, cash flow indicators, profit indicators, etc.). We can use charts to get changes in the company’s fundamental information in different periods.
In addition to summarizing company documents, we can also click on a certain document (take Annual Report as an example), and Alpha Research provides the specific content of this document on the right. We can search for keywords (take Revenue as an example) and quickly locate these keywords in the article. Alpha Research also provides the ability to download files and record notes.
