Euromonitor's Passport GMID
Open the Companies tab and search for a company by name to view company profiles. Global profiles offer competitive analysis, market trends, and company analysis akin to a SWOT while "local" (regional) profiles provide a snapshot of performance and sales data. Works best for companies in consumer goods and services.
Market Atlas
New! Find details on public companies globally, including ownership, executives, financial data, SEC filings, sustainability (ESG and CSR) reports, ESG ratings (current and historical), and more. Read more about content and coverage.
Mergent Intellect
New! Find company data on US public and private companies.
Nexis Uni
Search for company information in two ways: Open the "waffle" menu in the top left and select Nexis Dossier (preferred), or click on the Companies tab in the top ribbon. When using Dossier, search by company name or stock ticker to find a company profile with news, reports, financials, and more.

Note: May require users to log in with their NetID even on campus.

There is a known bug affecting Nexis Uni profile creation. Off-campus users interested in creating a Nexis Uni profile should use this link.
