Earlier this week, we were pleased to pre-release our new and improved Q4 Touch App. “Finally, a Finance App for the IRO – Not the Investor.” Today, we are excited to announce that the app is available for download from both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
This post walks through some of the great features of the new app.
Over the last few months we’ve been hard at work building features and functionality into Q4 Touch, geared towards the daily needs of all IROs. Our main goal throughout the development process was to create a tool that IROs can use to keep up with the rapid changes that take place in the market on a daily basis.
Below, we highlight the latest features of the app that are going to improve your day-to-day life as an IRO:
Activity Page
The main page of Q4 Touch. When you first sign up for your Q4 Touch account, you will be prompted to provide the ticker symbol for the company that you work for. From there, Q4 Touch configures your activity feed, and you also have access to a real time news feed.
From the Activity Page, you have access to a real time news feed on all of the IR related articles published about your company and your peers. The newsfeed is compiled from a vast source of publishers and features only news items associated with investment / financial reporting. This means that IR users are only seeing the news they need and are not being bogged down with irrelevant content.
Users also have access to a stock report comparing their company’s market performance with their peers from the watchlist (more on that shortly). If they include the Trade Indicator upgrade as well, they’re also able to see their own Trade Indicator score as well as a report featuring all the companies in their watchlist that have had a change in score in the last 24 hours.
Stock Report
The Stock Report provides an overview of the stock performance for each company on the user’s watchlist for the current day (or the day before closing bell if you’re checking after hours). This is a great way to quickly see how industry peers are performing in the market at that exact time.
Watchlist
When a user first creates their Q4 Touch account, the app automatically creates a custom watchlist of their peers based on their company’s industry. App users are able to scroll through the list and get a look into their peers current stock price and movement. If you have the Trade Indicator add-on, you are also able to see their current Trade Indicator score. Selecting a company on the watch list will take you to their company profile page where you will be able to see their current stock price, stock report and the company’s investor news.
The watchlist is completely customizable, allowing you to add any company you want to follow. Simply type their name into the search bar and select their name in order to add the company to the watchlist. You’re also able to select a specific company to pin to the top of your list so that you are able to easily compare their performance to others on your list.
Company Profile
As stated above, selecting a company on the watchlist takes the user to their company profile where they’re able to access a detailed stock report along with a 24 hour overview of their stock performance. The Company Profile also features a list of the latest investor news published on the profiled company. Like the user’s own company Activity Page, all of the news content has been curated to exclusively feature content that is meaningful to IROs. If the Trade Indicator upgrade has been included, the user is also able to see a Trade Indicator Score report from the last 24 hours and their TI score compared with their stock movement over a 1 month, 3 month and 1 year period.
By adjusting your phone and positioning it in landscape view, you can access additional datasets to compare the stock performance against.
In addition, you can also compare the stock movement against popular market indices like the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100 and the Dow Jones to get a true sense of how the company’s performance compares against the market. You are also able to compare using the companies on your watchlist to see how the competition stacks up. Finally, if you have the Trade Indicator add on, you can compare all this information.
All of these features have been integrated into Q4 Touch to allow IROs to keep track of market change for their stock and their peers. Q4 Touch is unique because it provides a comparative, alert-driven approach to automatically notify IROs of changes in the market and provide them with the tools to better understand the nature of the change within their industry.
Q4 Touch is free to download and available for all iOS and Android devices.
