Background

MarketScreener was launched in 2001 by Franck Morel under the French company Surperformance SAS, headquartered in Annecy, France, and grew into a financial data and news aggregation platform serving individual investors and professionals across Europe, North America, and Asia with screeners, portfolio tools, and news from major wire services. Reuters itself was founded in London in 1851 by Paul Julius Reuter, who initially used telegraphy—and briefly carrier pigeons—to transmit market prices across Europe, making it one of the world's oldest wire services. In 2008, the Canadian Thomson Corporation acquired Reuters Group to form Thomson Reuters Corporation, which today remains majority-controlled by the Woodbridge Company, the Thomson family holding vehicle, at roughly 62% of common shares. Reuters operates under Trust Principles first adopted in 1941 that obligate its journalists to maintain independence, integrity, and freedom from bias; a dedicated Founders Share Company exists to enforce these principles against potential shareholder interference. Multiple media-bias organizations—including Media Bias/Fact Check and AllSides—rate Reuters as center or least biased, citing rigorous sourcing and minimal editorializing. During the Trump administration's second term beginning in January 2025, Reuters' coverage has been described by analysts as largely balanced, applying factual, sourced reporting to contested areas such as immigration, trade tariffs, and executive power without consistent advocacy on either side. MarketScreener itself does not produce the Reuters articles it hosts; it is a licensed distributor, so its platform design and subscription business do not alter the editorial content of the wire stories.
