What Naviga NewsEdge does

Moody's Analytics NewsEdge is a real-time global news intelligence and distribution platform operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Moody's Analytics, Inc. (NYSE: MCO) and originally developed by Acquire Media before its acquisition by Moody's. The platform aggregates content from over 28,000 licensed and web sources in 70+ languages, applies a proprietary ACME taxonomy (1,500+ industry, 3,500+ subject, 119,000+ location tags) and NLP-powered entity extraction, sentiment, and impact scoring to enrich stories in milliseconds, and retains up to 15 years of historical archive for back-testing and research.

The product suite spans NewsEdge+ (flagship with integrated Moody's analytics), NewsEdge Portal (web-based search, alerts, newsletters, RSS, social sharing), NewsEdge Feed (API and data-feed delivery including SEC-compliant regulated simultaneous disclosure via patented AMPS), and vertical modules including NewsEdge Alert, NewsEdge Signal (event-driven trading), NewsEdge Credit (credit-risk signal detection), and NewsEdge NLP Engine. APIs (OPENS, SAMURAI) and delivery mechanisms support structured formats (RSS, JSON, XMLNews, NewsML) over FTP/SFTP/S3 and through Moody's DataHub on AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Revenue is generated through enterprise SaaS subscriptions, API and data-feed contracts (quote-based, annual billing), and content syndication services, with go-to-market executed via field sales across Americas, APAC, and EMEA supplemented by a self-serve NewsEdge Portal. Target buyers are financial institutions (banks, trading firms, hedge funds) requiring low-latency news for trading and research, corporate enterprises for research and brand monitoring, and publishers/media companies for content syndication. Pricing is opaque and quotes are tailored to source volume, users, API calls, and distribution requirements.

• Refinitiv (LSEG) News & Machine Readable News: Provides low-latency, machine-readable news feeds (and the Refinitiv Intelligent Tagging analytical taxonomy) directly into trading terminals and market data platforms — the canonical competitor to NewsEdge's AMPS/SAMURAI pipeline for algorithmic and event-driven trading.
