Atom Finance: Stock News & Research App With Modeling Capabilities and More

Sandbox is Atom Finance’s most unique feature. With these financial models, you can customize assumptions to figure out a target price for a particular stock. For example, the share price, the number of shares outstanding, and the forecasted total debt and revenue. Based on your inputs, the platform will automatically recalculate fundamentals, like price-to-earnings ratio and enterprise value-to-EBITDA. Using this information, you can model a fair value for the share price of the stock. You can also compare your analysis with what the experts come up with.

And if you really want to get down and dirty with modeling, you also have the option to edit detailed fundamentals, including revenue, year-over-year growth percentage and tax rate.

Name and save any model you create, so you can simply adjust expectations as new data comes your way.

Atom Finance automatically curates a news feed for you, based on the stocks or market sectors you follow. And with “X-ray,” you can search for mentions of companies or keywords across news articles, earnings call transcripts and SEC filings.

With these features, you’ll get stories from Reuters and Atom Finance’s press team, but you won’t get news from the biggest names in the stock world, like Bloomberg, MarketWatch and Benzinga. Unfortunately, that means other stock news platforms will give you a better view of the market.

Atom Finance lets you compare two or more companies. The results cover a variety of fundamental metrics – price-to-earnings ratio, revenue growth, EBITDA and more – in table form. Although a great feature in theory, the process is lacking. You have to enter tickers manually, so this tool only works if you already know which companies you want to compare. We’d also like to compare companies based on the Sandbox models we created, but that’s not possible. At least not yet.

Atom Finance also has a portfolio tracker, but you have to connect a brokerage account in order to track investments. There is no way to enter transactions manually, nor create a simulated portfolio to watch how it performs over time.

Once you’ve connected your brokerage account and imported transactions, Atom Finance will graph your returns against the S&P 500, as well as calculate the average P/E and other fundamental metrics. You’ll get a display of your portfolio diversity, and you’ll be able to track your positions and trades over different timeframes.

Got multiple brokerage accounts? Atom Finance lets you look at each account individually or aggregate the data.

Compatible brokerages include Schwab, TD Ameritrade, E*TRADE, Fidelity, Robinhood and more.
