The Financial health sentiment risk check rates the negative credit sentiment of news and media about a company using the Company custom check as your data provider.

Information used to run this check

To run the check, complete all the required fields in the company profile. The Company number field must be filled out to generate the BvD ID.

Overall results of the check

The Company custom check generates a Credit sentiment score for an organization by examining the negative news articles and giving them a daily score. The check lists the information used to run the check and then shows the summary of the results. The score is provided on a scale from 0 to 100, where the higher the score is, the more negative current news about the company there is.
