Conduct comprehensive peer comparisons 

Additionally, our Screening & Benchmarking functionality is designed to help you build extensive lists of speculative-grade entities. This tool allows for robust peer comparisons using ratings, financials, and ESG scores, as well as benchmarking against medians to spot outliers effectively. With this feature, you can conduct thorough analyses, whether you're looking at individual entities or comparing groups to identify trends and anomalies.

An easy way to start is by viewing a pre-built list of all speculative-grade entities rated by Moody's Ratings. This feature not only simplifies the process but also equips you with an educational module to guide you through all the tool's capabilities.
