Frequently asked questions
- Is Brief Equity a good StockAnalysis.com alternative?
- Yes. Brief Equity covers US and international stocks on 60+ exchanges and adds a workspace that StockAnalysis.com's own pages do not list: a research library with a notebook for every stock, passages and numbers saved from the source, a knowledge graph, and 13F ownership fund by fund.
- What does Brief Equity add over StockAnalysis.com?
- The research itself: one feed of news, press releases, transcripts, filings, insider trades, and analyst ratings for your watchlists, a research library with your own columns and a notebook for every stock, passages and figures saved from the source with a back-link, a knowledge graph, DCF and EV/EBITDA models with Bear, Base, and Bull scenarios and a Monte Carlo range, and 13F ownership with fund pages filtered to the tickers you track.

From a data reference to a research workspace
Brief Equity is a workspace for the stocks you decide to follow. You track them on watchlists, read one feed for all of them, write your thesis in a notebook for each, build your own models, and follow the funds that hold them. StockAnalysis.com is a stock data site: its pages describe stock prices, news, financials, forecasts, and charts on stocks and funds, with screeners, market movers, and a watchlist that doubles as a portfolio tracker (as of October 2026).
The difference shows once the number is found. In Brief Equity the next step happens in the same place: the passage goes into a note, the assumption goes into a model, and the stock sits in your library with the stage and tags you gave it.
The research you keep
Brief Equity's feed carries news, press releases, earnings-call transcripts, SEC filings, insider trades, and analyst ratings for every ticker on your watchlists, with a tab per source. Select a passage in a transcript or press release and it saves into a note as a callout with a back-link to the exact spot. A block of cells from the financials saves as a table, and a chart or a model's valuation card saves as an image.
The notes sit in a research library with your own columns, stages, and tags, and a notebook for every stock. Your columns come in 7 types, any of 182 market metrics can sit beside them, you can filter by any column, and a board lays the stocks out in lanes by a field such as Stage or Conviction. A knowledge graph draws your watchlists, stocks, notes, and the funds you follow as one picture.
StockAnalysis.com's watchlist has a Holding Notes field for text notes on a holding, and a news section with the latest headlines for the symbols on the list. Transcripts, filings, and press releases sit on each stock's own page. Its tools page and help centre list no research notebook, library, or graph (as of October 2026).
Earnings calls and filings
A transcript in Brief Equity opens in a reader that sets each speaker's remarks apart, groups the Q&A question by question, and has a button that skips straight to it. Select any passage to save it to your notes. A filing, a press release, or an earnings transcript in the feed has a menu that opens ChatGPT or Claude on it, and a transcript can also be copied as Markdown or downloaded as a file.
StockAnalysis.com's changelog shows earnings call transcripts added in April 2026, with audio playback, AI summaries, and a per-speaker view, and a filings page for each stock added in May 2026 (as of October 2026).
Valuation models
Brief Equity's models are a discounted cash flow and an EV/EBITDA model, driven by your own assumptions: Bear, Base, and Bull scenarios, sensitivity analysis, a Monte Carlo distribution over the inputs, peer comparables, an exit-multiple value on EV/EBITDA, EV/Sales, or EV/EBIT, and versions you save and restore. Refresh pulls the newest filings and analyst consensus into a model, and any model saves into a notebook page beside your thesis.
StockAnalysis.com added two calculators in September 2026. Its DCF Calculator projects free cash flow per share over 10 years from five assumptions, and its Fair Value Calculator values a stock from its earnings, expected growth, and a P/E ratio. Each has a sensitivity table, and the tutorials say your changes are kept in the page address (as of October 2026).
13F ownership
Quarterly 13F filings show who holds a stock and what each fund did last quarter. Open a fund for its portfolio, turnover, 1-year relative performance, and concentration, save the funds you follow into one dashboard, and see ownership filtered to the tickers on your watchlists.
StockAnalysis.com shows the percentage of a stock owned by insiders and by institutions on its statistics page, and its ETF Reverse Lookup lists the ETFs that hold a stock (as of October 2026).
The market view
Brief Equity reads the market too: an overview dashboard of indices, sectors, yields, currencies, commodities, and the day's S&P 500 movers, the earnings week for the whole market, and news, filing, insider, and analyst streams across every ticker. The earnings week marks the tickers you track, and a click opens one in the right rail beside your notes.
StockAnalysis.com has market movers pages for gainers, losers, most active, premarket, and after hours, a market heatmap, and an earnings calendar that narrows a day to an index, a market cap, or one of your watchlists (as of October 2026).
Data and coverage
Brief Equity covers US and international stocks on 60+ exchanges. Every stock page has four tabs: Overview, Charts, Financials, and Dividends. Financials hold the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow, with 20 years of annual statements, 40 quarters, and a trailing-twelve-month column. Charts carry price with volume, moving averages, and Bollinger bands, plus panes for P/E, EV/EBITDA, and other multiples.
Filings, insider trades, and 13F ownership come from SEC records.
Plans and pricing
Brief Equity is one plan with everything included: a 10-day free trial with no card, then $38/mo billed annually ($48/mo monthly). StockAnalysis.com is free with ads and has two paid plans: Pro at $9.99 a month or $79 a year, and Unlimited at $16.58 a month billed annually. Its Pro page sets financial history, downloads, stocks per watchlist, and alerts by plan (as of October 2026).
