1.b. Last Insights on DATA

GlobalData Plc's recent stock performance has been negatively impacted by several factors. The company's weak fundamentals, as highlighted in a recent article, have led to a 9.7% decline in its stock price over the past three months. Additionally, the UK's FTSE 100 index has faced challenges due to weak trade data from China and falling commodity prices, affecting major companies. Furthermore, the recent failure of Biohaven's pivotal bipolar drug trial, which GlobalData provides market research for, has also had a negative impact on the company's stock.
