Google Finance Launch: The Reuters Deal

In the newly launched Google Finance, the most substantive data deal the company has is with Reuters. That’s obvious from looking at any ticket data in the service…and this is probably among the few deals where money changed hands.

A Reuters story on the deal quotes a Reuters spokesman said the company stands to benefit as customers of Google Finance click on links to Reuters sites seeking deeper information.

Besides links to its news, Reuters supplies some stock quote data on publicly traded companies as well as background summaries, profiles of executives and directors and links to key historical developments that may have affected a stock.

The other companies with which Google has deals for this are Morningstar, Dun & Bradstreet Corp’s Hoovers and Revere Data.
