Previously there have been posts asking about line items for stock based compensation. I understand that this was not provided as a discrete line item by our previous data provider Compustat, and there wasn’t really a decent workaround.
Short question - is stock based compensation available from our new data from Factset? If still no, has anyone found a workaround?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan
Yes, FactSet does have these numbers, but we’re limited in the number of line items we display. Interestingly, I made a feature request for this back in 2017. It got 2 votes. We’ve also had requests for executive compensation, which is also available. See https://www.portfolio123.com/feature_request.jsp?featureReqID=1351 and https://www.portfolio123.com/feature_request.jsp?featureReqID=737. Feel free to vote for them, everyone! If we have enough votes we’ll try to provide this information.
That’s great Yuval, thanks. Got my vote. 
Just curious, how many votes are required for a given feature to be implemented?
We don’t have a limit. We look at the features that get the most votes and are the easiest to implement.
Added a vote for share based compensation… but also posting here in case it’s been implemented in the interim and I’m unaware. Would be a nice “have”. (Sorry, I don’t know my way around the features requests and finding new implementations so I regularly miss stuff).
Please add my vote for this also. I use it as a part of my fundamental analysis. Having an easy way to find it without looking at 10K’s would be awesome
I'd like to add my vote for this one as well
This is now up to 23 votes which makes it 20th on the list.
Anyone else interested?
