A comprehensive set of new fundamental datatypes is now available for Datastream Global Equity indices and equities. The data is sourced from Worldscope and based on a trailing twelve month period if applicable. The data represents the sum of the relevant item reported in the last twelve months. From the fiscal period 2002, the items are populated from the quarterly, semi-annual and trimester time series based on the availability of the underlying data. The new 4 character datatypes can be used with the Datastream Global Equity indices and also all companies covered by Worldscope on Datastream.
| CAPEX (Datastream Worldscope) | DWCX |
| Common / Shareholders Equity (Datastream Worldscope) | DWSE |
| EBIT (Datastream Worldscope) | DWEB |
| EBITDA (Datastream Worldscope) | DWED |
| Enterprise Value (Datastream Worldscope) | DWEV |
| Enterprise Value/ EBITDA (Datastream Worldscope) | DWEE |
| Free Cash Flow (Datastream Worldscope) | DWFC |
| Interest Charge Coverage (Datastream Worldscope) | DWIC |
| Net (Profit) Margin (Datastream Worldscope) | DWNM |
| Net Debt (Datastream Worldscope) | DWND |
| Net Profit (Income) (Datastream Worldscope) | DWNP |
| Number of Employees (Datastream Worldscope) | DWEN |
| Return on Equity (Datastream Worldscope) | DWRE |
| Sales (Datastream Worldscope) | DWSL |
| Total Assets (Datastream Worldscope) | DWTA |
With these data types you can, for example, request sales for an entire industry in Datastream.
For example for the “Healthcare Industry in The Netherlands”. You can enter via “Series / Lists” HLTHCNL, for Europe: HLTHCER or for the World: HLTHCWD. With datatype you enter DWSL for the Sales.
You can for example use these Industry Codes to create an Index:
| Basic Materials: | BMATR |
| Consumer Goods: | CNSMG |
| Consumer Services: | CNSMS |
| Financials: | FINAN |
| Healthcare: | HLTHC |
| Industrials: | INDUS |
| Oil & Gas: | OILGS |
| Technology: | TECNO |
| Telecommunication: | TELCM |
| Utilities: | UTILS |
It is also possible to adjust the above industry codes so that you can request the underlying constituents in Datastream. You can do that like this:
Example for the Netherlands: LHLTHCNL
L= List
HLTHC= Industry code Healthcare
NL= Netherlands
Example for the Europe: G#LHLTHCER
G#L= Global List
HLTHC= Industry code Healthcare
ER= Europe
Example for the World: G#LHLTHCWD
G#L= Global List
HLTHC= Industry code Healthcare
WD= World
