PE Roundtables: Eagle Alpha is running private equity focused roundtable events in London (Tuesday 8 October) and New York (Thursday, October 17th) to show private equity firms how to discover deal sourcing, due diligence and post-acquisition insights from alternative data.

Bottoming Demand for New iPhones: last week our Founder and CEO Emmett Kilduff was invited by TD Ameritrade Network to speak on their TV show. He discussed the chatter around new iPhones and Apple TV+. Our analysis of Twitter data and Google search data showed that demand for the iPhone is bottoming and sentiment for the camera is particularly negative. Watch the recording here.

Legal & Compliance

On September 24th 2019, the European Court of Justice decided that Google isn’t obliged to de-reference the information outside the European Union.
