Investing.com is a financial platform and news website; one of the top three global financial websites in the world.[3][4][5] It offers market quotes,[6] information about stocks, futures, options,[7] analysis,[8][9] commodities, and an economic calendar.[10]
History[]
Founded in 2007 as Forexpros, the portal offered forex analysis, a broker directory, and a discussion forum in English, Spanish, Hebrew and Arabic.[11][12][13] During 2008–2009, more editions were added and the platform expanded its offering from Forex data to encompass other financial instruments.
The company purchased their current domain, Investing.com, for $2.45 million at the end of 2012[14] in one of the most expensive domain deals in history.[15][16][17]
Investing.com's Android app was launched in September 2013,[18] while an iOS version of the app was launched a year later.[18][19][20][21] Over time, it added additional localized editions[22][23] and services.[24][25][26]
In February 2021, it was ranked as the 194th most popular website in the world according to Alexa.[27] It has four offices worldwide and 300 employees (as of 2019),[28] and is composed of 33 editions in 24 languages.[29]
On April 2021, Globes reported the sale of the company for 500 million dollars.[30]
