Hear from our Chief Strategy Officer, Aakarsh Ramchandani about leveraging workforce data to track layoffs.
The slowing economy, rising inflation, and shrinking margins have made cost cutting a must to boost profits. Layoffs have been the cost-cutting method of choice recently.
Our Chief Strategy Officer will join Wolfe’s researchers together with other industry experts to illustrate how the company tone surrounding the layoff announcement as well as the size of the workforce reduction, impacts subsequent stock price performance.
RavenPack recently launched its Job Analytics dataset, powered by LinkUp, which can also provide additional insights to complement layoff news analytics with trends over 200 million job postings sourced directly from the websites of more than 60,000 employers globally.

High inflation has returned in developed markets after decades of lying low. In our latest paper, we show how to build an inflation-based asset allocation strategy using sentiment data and we illustrate that sentiment-based strategies outperform models that depend merely on past observed inflation values.
This year's RavenPack Research Symposium brought two intense days of knowledge sharing in London and New York, from 25 top experts in natural language processing, quantitative investing and machine learning. Together, we explored how firms can leverage new language models to generate alpha, better manage risk and respond to calls for more sustainable investment practices.
Human capital is at the heart of value creation. Our latest research demonstrates how unprecedented workforce insights, sourced from over 200 million job postings, can generate more alpha.
