Workspace replaced Eikon, and the Refinitiv brand page says that brand is retired. Filings, ownership, and transcripts are the public half. I/B/E/S, Datastream, and the Reuters wire stay a license.
The row stays slice. Filings, ownership, and transcripts match the public half of Workspace. I/B/E/S, Datastream, and the Reuters wire stay a license. No Workspace seat price is printed. The 2,000 dollar and 60,000 dollar figures are student aftermarket-research caps, not seats. ESG coverage disagrees across two Workspace pages, and both figures are left as printed.

| What an analyst opens | LSEG Workspace replaced Eikon. The Refinitiv brand page, published 2026-10-06, says the brand is retired. The buy-side edition is Workspace for analysts and portfolio managers: idea screens, I/B/E/S, StarMine, Datastream, Reuters, transcripts, filings, research, ESG, portfolio analytics, a Yield Book calculator, and notes. Desktop, web, iOS, and Android. AI Search and Workspace agents are on the main page. REDI on Workspace, September 2025, is order routing and is described as a distinct product. | Console is the filing workstation on filings, ownership, and transcripts. Order routing is a different product. | Match |
| The seat | No Workspace seat price is printed. The door is a sales form, and a 30-day trial exists. A service description indexed as published 2026-08-14 prints student aftermarket-research ceilings of 2,000 dollars retail value and 60,000 dollars retail value for professors and researchers. Those are usage caps. Stock Reports Plus and ESG are fee-liable add-ons on the wealth edition, with no dollar figure. | The filing seat can be priced on its own. Their usage caps are limits on broker research, and they are not a rate card. | Partial |

| Filings and fundamentals | The data-and-content page says fundamentals cover 99 percent of global market cap across 120 countries, with the source filing. The analyst edition says fundamentals of 40-plus years. A quant brochure says a former exclusive SEC relationship and over 160 markets. | US as-reported financials are about 473,000 filing-rows. SEDAR continues through QuoteMedia. Other markets are public filings, one regime at a time. Their market-cap coverage line and our filing-row count are different objects. | Partial |
| Ownership and transcripts | Workspace lists transcripts and filings in the buy-side edition. The pages read do not print a transcript-company count beside the fundamentals line. | US calls are 264,816 pointers as of 2026-10-14, 189,500 joined. US ownership is 13F, N-PORT, 13D and 13G, and Form 4. | Ahead |
| ESG | The data page says ESG over 90 percent of global market cap and more than a thousand metrics. The analyst page says over 630 data points and 70 analytics covering 80 percent of global market cap. | A score on 10-K climate text, CSR reports, and public CDP responses is a model. The ESG note of 2026-09-19 found no emissions, sustainability, or controversy score in the graph. Their two coverage lines are left as printed. The badge stays theirs. | Partial |

| I/B/E/S and StarMine | I/B/E/S on the Workspace page is 23,000 companies in 90 countries and 15 industries. The quant brochure says over 23,000 active companies, more than 900 brokers, 325-plus measures, and US history since 1976. StarMine Analyst Revisions covers 17,600 public companies from 1995. The Earnings Quality model covers 47,000 public companies from 1998. | A revision model needs their contributor file. An earnings-quality model on the filings we hold is our model. Their I/B/E/S number stays a license. | Beside |
| Datastream, Reuters, and evaluated prices | Datastream is 120 years. Pricing comes from 2,000 contributing sources. Reuters is more than 2,500 journalists, plus more than 10,000 other news sources. Lipper is 360,000 collective investments in over 80 countries. Real-time research is nearly 1,300 providers in 87 countries. The fixed-income page says evaluated prices for over 2.7 million securities and research from 1,300 sources. Yield Book and MSCI RiskMetrics and Barra sit in the desktop and are not described as LSEG-owned. | A long price history, the Reuters wire, Lipper, and an evaluated bond price stay a license. FRED covers a wide US macro set we already keep. Their 120-year Datastream file and our 40-year-class filing history are different datasets, and both numbers are theirs. | Gap |
