Benzinga and Edgebot Establish Data Relationship to Bring Real-Time Market News to AlphaLab

AlphaLab users gain real-time financial news to support quantitative research, strategy development and backtesting

DETROIT and BEIRUT, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Benzinga, a leading provider of real-time financial news and market data, today announced a new data relationship with Edgebot Corporation, the company behind AlphaLab, an AI quant lab built for professional traders.

Through this relationship, Edgebot is integrating Benzinga's Premium U.S. Equities Newsfeed into AlphaLab. As a result, AlphaLab users can incorporate real-time and historical market news into their research process, helping them evaluate how market-moving events and company developments may affect a trading hypothesis.

AlphaLab operates as an AI quant lab that traders hire and direct: users bring a hypothesis, an AI Head of Research dispatches researchers to investigate it, and an independent AI Risk Analyst signs off before anything reaches the user, who receives either a defended strategy or an honest refutation. To meet that structure, Benzinga's market news adds real-time and historical context throughout the process, supporting hypothesis development, historical analysis, and signal evaluation.

Strategies that pass validation are deployed to paper first, building a forward track record. Going live is always the user's decision.

"Benzinga does more than deliver headlines. We work directly with firms like EdgeBot to make our real-time and historical news usable within sophisticated quantitative research workflows," said Clint Rhea, Manager of Institutional and Channel Partnerships at Benzinga. "By integrating Benzinga data into AlphaLab, EdgeBot is giving researchers a stronger foundation for testing strategies and understanding how information moves markets."

"A researcher is only as good as the desk they sit at, and news and fundamentals are the part of that desk that is hardest to get right. Timestamps have to line up with price history or an event study tells you nothing," said Tarek Ayna, CEO and co-founder of Edgebot. "Benzinga's coverage arrives inside AlphaLab already aligned, so our AI researchers can put an event driven hypothesis to work on day one."

The relationship reflects both companies' focus on helping traders move from hypothesis to structured, data-driven analysis. Similarly, by combining Benzinga's market-moving news with AlphaLab's research infrastructure, users gain a more complete view of market conditions and company-specific developments to inform their strategies.
