Does anyone know where I can find market data like share prices, repo rates at that time and maybe even financial statements for most companies that goes back more than 10 years?

Does someone collect and share this stuff?
 
Yes, I have all of it at work.
The JSE charge for their stuff, so can't help you.

Repo rate is on the SARB site for free.
 
Strange I was just looking for the same. Wanted to compare the daily movements of international markets and the jse. Havent found anything yet.
 
Think Standard Bank's online share trading lets u grab historical data, not sure what format its in and you have to have an account. I will try download some data a little later on.

That's US stocks. Unless I misread something.

Found the repo rates, I was just hoping for a resource with everything in one place.

It's about 50 gigs though...

I'll have a look, they have a free trial trading account as far as I know so maybe the data will be available to me there.

I just want to check something out regarding calculating intrinsic values and seeing how it would perform over time.
 
If you still need the info, lemme know...I have access to the iNet system and the ShareNet/ShareData websites. Give me the share codes and dates, and I'll organise the data for you.

Most companies keep the financials on their website. If its just summarised financials that you need, have a look at the results SENS announcements. Moneyweb is the easiest...its free and goes back since the companies listing date.

You'll get very fired and sued if you hand out that data.

Cool thanks, it's not really that the data is hard to find(except,where the hell can I find Putprops AR online!?) its just that I'd like to have most of the data on one page so to speak, I have quite a few companies I want to check and compare.

I've been using Moneyweb and ft.com for summarised data and only really refer to the ARs when I come across an anomaly in the earnings or something.
Thanks for the offer though
 
It's all public info as they are listed on the JSE, so no chance of getting fired at all:D

How urgently do you need PPR? They don't have a website, but they are in the process of finalising their annual report, which should be published in a few weeks. I can get their last annual report in pdf if you want.

Just because it's public data doesn't mean that the data is not proprietary, which it most certainly is in this case. Alf is 100% correct in this case - if they catch you, you can be fired. Your company signs an agreement with their market data provider which stipulates use of data. The data is not as public as you think.

Hey Geriatrix, you have to pay for historical data which is why market data providers charge separately for live and historical feeds. You could request a demo from the likes of iNet, McGregors BFA, Thomson-Reuters etc and stipulate that research is your field so you require up to ten years worth of data on the demo. But you might find that they limit the excel functionality to avoid data theft...

Check with management first.
You have been misinformed.

To be honest you need a market data provider for this and there's no getting out of the fact that this costs money. The market data providers really are the only ones who collate this data and build front-ends for users. A website providing this for free is getting its feed from a market data provider and they will severely limit what data can be used in these circumstances. If you don't need it on a regular basis then just request a trial from Reuters, McGregors or iNet Bridge. If you need it moving forward then you'll have to pay and it's in the region of around $1000 per annum for a cheapish thin client on a one-user basis the last time I checked...
 
Also, what specific data do you need? It can be quite a mission collating this data yourself if you need things like consensus forecasts, HEPS, EPS, EBITDA - you'll be going through their financials to dig out this data and you won't get much in the way of forecasting...

If you have a good relationship with your broker then yes, or if you "promise" to route your trades through them. Otherwise they're quick to smell bullschit and are more than happy to hang up on you.

A broker might be willing to give you this info though but like I said, if it's a regular thing then you're better off paying for a terminal...

They don't hang up on us.
There's also HOLT (if you have the patience of Job) and Deutsche Morgan Grenfell.
We do our own thing here.


Every company has to publish their annual results via SENS, so that's where you'll find it.

This is also an option for the OP
