Facteus expands US consumer transaction intelligence available to users, providing ticker-level signals to corroborate spending trends and deepen company research and analysis
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Facteus, a provider of decision-grade economic intelligence built on US consumer transaction data, today announced that its consumer transaction insights are now available on ALTD <GO>, a leading alternative data analytics solution on the Bloomberg Terminal providing near real-time actionable insights and more than 5,000 KPI estimates that enable users to nowcast company-reported metrics.
Joining datasets spanning consumer transactions, foot and web traffic, mobile app insights, and healthcare prescriptions, Facteus is the newest consumer transaction data provider to make its insights available via the Terminal. The addition gives investment professionals a broader view of observed consumer spending trends, enabling them to corroborate signals and gain a deeper, more comprehensive view of company performance, directly within their investment research workflows.
Users can access a 14-day lagged view of Facteus’ forecasting signal with visibility into revenue KPI trends, updated daily by 6AM ET. With Data Entitlements in ALTD <GO>, buyside firms contracted and permissioned directly through Facteus can access a 2-day lagged version of the same signals with additional granularity, enabling analysts and portfolio managers to monitor spend trends for the companies they cover with a two-day lag, alongside pricing, consensus estimates and news, without ever leaving the Terminal.
“Consumer spending accounts for roughly two-thirds of US economic activity, yet most of the data investors rely on to track it has historically arrived weeks or months after the fact, through company disclosures and government releases,” said Chris Marsh, CEO at Facteus. “Making Facteus data available on the Bloomberg Terminal puts our observed consumer spending trends directly into one of the investment community’s most important workflows. It makes the signal easier to access, while giving firms that need greater speed, depth and granularity a path into the broader Facteus intelligence environment.”
Turning Verified Consumer Behavior into Investment Advantage
Consumer transaction data analytics provides investment teams with an additional lens into company performance between traditional financial reporting periods. By analyzing observed credit and debit card spend, investors can monitor changes in consumer demand, compare trends across companies, and identify shifts that may warrant deeper research.
Facteus transforms consumer transaction activity into company-level KPI estimates designed for investment analysis. Its availability through Bloomberg allows investors to incorporate those signals alongside a growing portfolio of high-quality alternative datasets, as well as the traditional financial, market and company information already available on the Terminal.
“Alternative data is most useful when investors can compare signals across multiple sources and evaluate them directly alongside a broader range of financial information such as broker research, estimates and news,” said Richard Lai, Global Head of Company Financial and Alternative Data at Bloomberg. “Facteus adds another trusted view of US consumer transaction activity to ALTD <GO>, helping clients validate trends and add greater depth to company research and investment analysis.”
