Recommendations on global equities database

May 30th, 2025, 3:00 pm

Hi everyone,

I work at a hedge fund in Brazil, and we’re looking to expand our quantitative studies to include global equities.  
Does anyone have recommendations for free or low-cost databases or data sources that provide stock prices, market capitalization, quarterly financial results, and related metrics?

Thank you!

Not really my area of expertise, but you can access current and historical Yahoo Finance data via the Python yfinance library. Might be worth a look. They seem to have decent global equity coverage.
