Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) is a prominent U.S. newspaper and online platform that provides comprehensive coverage of business, financial, and investment news. The company, which was founded in 1984 by William O’Neil and originally named Investor’s Daily, underwent a rebranding in 1991. IBD is highly recognized for its emphasis on growth investing, as evidenced by its adoption of the CAN SLIM investment methodology. This approach is showcased in its weekly IBD 50 Index, a compilation of 50 high-performing growth stocks based on earnings and overall performance. Additionally, IBD offers a variety of resources designed to promote financial literacy. In 2016, in response to the growing shift towards digital media^[1], IBD mainly moved its operations online. More recently, in May 2021, News Corp purchased the company. Despite occasional controversies, IBD remains a key influencer in the world of financial news.
