Annecy, November 5, 2024 - MarketScreener, one of Europe's leading providers of financial information, has unveiled its latest venture: the Sweden edition. This marks a significant step in its strategy to expand multilingual offerings. The new edition is crafted in collaboration with Finwire, a Swedish news agency renowned for its expertise in Northern European financial news. With this launch, MarketScreener now boasts 14 editions in 7 languages on its platform.

The launch of the Sweden edition is in line with MarketScreener's ambition to offer its readers a comprehensive view of the world's financial markets, based on information and data from the best available sources. The partnership with Finwire provides in-depth coverage of the Nordic economy and its specific features. Finwire publishes real-time information on listed companies, stock markets and the Nordic economy. It also provides analyses and summaries of economic trends and company performance in Northern Europe.

Franck Morel, CEO of Marketscreener, notes: “This launch grants us access to Sweden's vibrant, high-growth market, where savings and stock investments are pivotal. Impressively, over 11% of Swedes are stock market investors, with average holdings surpassing the European average!”

"For subscribers to our other editions, this is excellent news, as they will now be able to benefit from comprehensive and enriched coverage of financial news in Northern Europe."

Becoming the international leader in financial information

Following the launch of the Indian edition three months ago, the Swedish edition is part of MarketScreener's drive to become the benchmark multilingual financial platform. This development meets a growing demand from investors for access to financial news and data on all listed companies worldwide. "The real-time news we offer gives investors a head start," explains Franck Morel. "Our readers benefit from unrivalled depth of information," he adds, referring to analysts' recommendations, transcripts, guidance, profit warnings, earnings reports and insider trading.

Technological innovation for quality content

MarketScreener relies on the most advanced technologies, and in particular has developed its own artificial intelligence, to gain in productivity on certain tasks, such as translation, text analysis and indexing, and the sharing of certain articles on social networks. However, as Franck Morel emphasizes, "our legitimacy rests on the colossal work of our journalists and financial analysts, who enable MarketScreener to remain a complete and reliable source of information for investors."

The MarketScreener IT team has updated its search system.

According to IT Team (Geek) member Magnus (first name changed), the system is "more intuitive, less cluttered, with a strong ergonomic correction on iOS devices that tended to zoom on the input.". Magnus adds, "We now use an EdgeNGram 2/25 Tokenizer coupled with two LowerCase & ASCIIFolding filters for indexing. For searching, we use HMax10 on these fields: Mnemo (*x2), name, tag, isin x0.5, text x0.1 wkn x0.1."

We didn't get it either. Fortunately, the power of AI came to our rescue. We asked a conversational AI to explain Magnus's gibberish to a 7-year-old child. Here's the answer:

"Imagine you have a magic box that can find hidden toys using special words. For the magic box to work properly, it has to learn to recognize the words, even if they're a bit jumbled or spelled differently.

The "Tokenizer EdgeNGram 2/25" is like a cutting game that takes a word and cuts it into small pieces. For example, if you have the word "balloon", it cuts it into "ba","bal" "ball", "ballo", "balloo", and "balloon". This helps the Magic Box find the toy even if you only remember a small part of the word.

The "LowerCase & ASCIIFolding" filters are like rules that say it doesn't matter if you write the words in upper or lower case, and that even if you use special or different letters, the magic box will know it's the same word.

To find the toys, the Magic Box uses a special game called "HMax10". It's like a detective who knows which clues are the most important to find the toy. "Mnemo" is like the toy's secret name, so if you know it, the Magic Box will search for it twice as hard. Names, tags and "isin" are like clues on the toy's packaging. If you know the "text" or "wkn", which are like little words written on the box, the magic box will use them too, but it knows they're not as important as the secret name in finding the toy.

So, basically, the magic box is very clever and uses all these tricks to help you find the toy you're looking for, even if you can't remember exactly what it's called."

Well, thank you AI!
