INPUT Introduces Government Investing Advisor

INPUT, an authority on government business, today announced Government Investing Advisor (GovIA), a research offering designed to deliver unique data and insights to the investing community on government spending and contractor activity.

Available immediately to subscribers, GovIA provides hard-to-find information and insight on the largest, publicly traded companies serving government, as well as government market data, spending analysis and forecasts.

“Leveraging our research and analysis platform and decades of experience tracking government spending, INPUT is in a unique position to deliver impactful research for the investment community,” said Timothy Dowd, CEO of INPUT.

With discretionary spending by the federal government expected to grow 6.5 percent this year — more than double the pace of the US economy (GDP) — it is more critical than ever for investors to follow government spending. In 2010, government spending on goods and services is expected to rival the combined revenues of the 20 largest Fortune 500 companies. To help investors capitalize on this large growth market, INPUT has established a dedicated team of analysts. The GovIA offering combines direct access to INPUT’s experts with a new, Web-based platform that delivers unique research content, daily analyst notes and real-time e-mail alerts.

Since 1974, INPUT has provided in-depth industry analysis and actionable market intelligence to help industry and government conduct business more effectively. More than 2,000 contractors and government agencies rely on INPUT for the latest and most comprehensive procurement and market information. INPUT tracks nearly $2 trillion in federal contract opportunities and $50 billion in state and local contract opportunities. GovIA will leverage these capabilities with a focus on the existing, upcoming and expiring contracts that matter to each company’s performance. This will enable investors to anticipate and capitalize on the contractor activity and award announcements that can move stock prices.

“With GovIA, we are providing investors with company-impacting information related to the top government contractors, an open line of communication to experts with inside access and informed opinions on government spending,” said Dowd. “We look forward to helping the investor community make more informed investment decisions through GovIA.”
