Orbis Data

The Rhodes Data Hub provides access to four Orbis products from Bureau van Dijk/Moody's, covering company financials, ownership structures, and corporate transactions worldwide.

Orbis Financials
This data comprises of company-level financial statements, including balance sheet and income statement data, for public and private companies worldwide compiled from local regulators and business registries. It includes separate templates for industrial, bank, and insurance companies that allow for sector-appropriate analysis. This data supports firm-level financial analysis, cross-country comparisons, and industry benchmarking. 

Orbis Ownership
This data offers point-in-time records of ownership relationships between companies, both domestic (U.S.) and cross-border, including corporate subsidiaries and shareholders, financial holdings, and individual owners. Each ownership link records the relationship type, the date it became known, and the percentage held. Well suited to mapping corporate structures, identifying ultimate owners, and tracing changes in control over time. 

Orbis Mergers & Acquisitions
This data provides detailed records of M&A activity, including financing terms, pre- and post-deal financials, parties involved, and deal rationale,  tracked from initial rumor through conclusion. The coverage includes closed, cancelled, withdrawn, and in-progress deals, making the dataset useful for studying deal outcomes and market activity broadly, not just completed transactions. 

Orbis Cross-Border Investment
This data includes records of foreign direct investment and greenfield projects, including the governmental and corporate parties involved, financing details, investment structure, and timeline from initial rumor to conclusion or withdrawal.
