What IR BANK does well
IR BANK packs a lot onto each company page: results back to fiscal 2008 for companies such as Toyota, financial position, cash flow history, dividends, buybacks and payout ratios, and the company’s own forecast for the current year. Its home page tracks earnings releases and revisions as they come out and lists upcoming announcement dates and IPOs. For a Japanese reader who wants the long history of a company’s results at a glance, it’s hard to beat for a free site.
What Hachiquant does differently
- Every page is in English as well as Japanese.
- Full income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements, line by line.
- Each series stays on one accounting standard and one consolidation scope, and every figure is traceable to the filing it came from.
- The API and MCP server need no registration, and you can reuse the data, including commercially, with credit.
Hachiquant has no dividend history, earnings calendar or forecasts, and its history is shorter.
Which should you use?
Use IR BANK for long results history, dividends and earnings news in Japanese. Use Hachiquant for full statements in English, or for an API you can call without registering and use in a commercial project.
