Want something better than Yahoo Finance? Here it is.

Brief Equity is a workspace for the research itself. You track stocks 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. Yahoo Finance is a market portal: its own pages describe free stock quotes, news, portfolio tools, and international market data, with market pages for stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, options, futures, Treasury bonds, currencies, and crypto.

Brief Equity reads the market too: an overview dashboard, the earnings week for the whole market, and the same news, filing, insider, and analyst streams across every ticker. That view is wired to your work. The earnings week marks the tickers you track, and a click opens one in the right rail beside your notes. Yahoo Finance's help page on market data describes market overviews of world indices, most active stocks, gainers and losers, commodities, and currencies, and its calendars list earnings, IPOs, stock splits, and economic events (as of October 2026).

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.

On Yahoo Finance, a stock's page carries its news, with tabs for earnings calls, press releases, and SEC filings. Its plans page and its help pages on research tools and portfolios list no research notebook, library, or graph (as of October 2026).

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.

Yahoo Finance's Silver plan lists fair value analysis, dividend scores, the Morningstar Rating for stocks, and research reports from Argus and Morningstar. Its Gold plan adds historical data and financial statements to download as CSV. Its plans page lists no valuation model builder (as of October 2026).

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.

Yahoo Finance shows a Holders tab on each stock: a major holders breakdown, the top institutional and mutual fund holders, an insider roster, and insider transactions. Its screener page lists screens of prominent investors' top holdings as reported on their 13F filings, and its Gold plan lists a Smart Money Screener (as of October 2026).

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.

Watchlists are unlimited, each with the columns you choose from 182 metrics, and every list feeds a calendar of earnings dates and major US economic events. Filings, insider trades, and 13F ownership come from SEC records.

Brief Equity is one plan with everything included: a 10-day free trial with no card, then $38/mo billed annually ($48/mo monthly). Yahoo Finance has a free plan with ads and three paid plans: Bronze at $9.95, Silver at $24.95, and Gold at $49.95 a month on monthly billing, or $7.95, $19.95, and $39.95 a month billed yearly. Its plans page puts portfolio performance and risk tools and an ad-free experience on Bronze, research reports, fair value analysis, and premium news on Silver, and its AlphaSpace platform and data downloads on Gold (as of October 2026).
