I’m trying to identify which service publishes equity-specific breaking news the fastest (text headlines only — not squawk/audio).

  • I understand it’s basically impossible to beat bots/algos on scheduled events like major macro releases (e.g., CPI/PCE inflation, Non-Farm Payrolls & unemployment rate, GDP, PMI/ISM, central bank rate decisions like FOMC/ECB) and on earnings events (i.e., companies’ quarterly results, guidance updates, and related filings).
  • The breaking news I care about is the unexpected stuff, e.g.:
    • CEO/CFO resignations or appointments
    • Analyst upgrades/downgrades and price-target changes
    • Guidance pre-announcements (cuts/raises)
    • M&A rumors or deal confirmations
    • SEC/EDGAR filings (8-K, 13D, etc.) hitting the tape
    • FDA approvals/CRLs (biotech), product recalls, litigation/injunctions
    • Major contract wins/partnerships, data breaches, short-seller reports, trading halts
  • I can’t afford professional terminals (Bloomberg, Dow Jones Newswires, LSEG/Eikon).
Question: Among services under $500/month, which is consistently the fastest to push text headlines on single-name stocks?
(Examples to compare if helpful: Benzinga Pro [text feed], Newsquawk headlines, TradeTheNews, The Fly/brief “Fly on the Wall,” Briefing.com, MT Newswires, Seeking Alpha Breaking News, PR wires + SEC feeds.)

Thanks in advance!
