Client inquired whether there is an available Excel field or function (via TR or RDP) that updates immediately upon publication of an earnings-related news release or headline. Ideally, they are looking for data points such as:
- Latest headline timestamp
- Earnings-related news indicators or categories
- Latest company news headline
- Breaking or “flame” news status
- News publication time
For context, Workspace Excel TR.EPSActValue / TR.EPSActReportDate fields appear delayed until later database refresh (approx. 45 minutes as confirmed by Estimates Team)
On the other hand, Newswire and Earnings Season monitor update intraday correctly (near real-time)
