PERPLEXITY JUST BUILT A BLOOMBERG TERMINAL KILLER FOR FINANCE TEAMS.
And most people on Wall Street do not know it exists yet.
Here is what just happened.
Perplexity Computer for Professional Finance just launched with licensed data from Morningstar, PitchBook, Daloopa, and Carbon Arc baked directly in.
Not API-connected. Not third-party integrated.
Licensed. Native. Inside the product.
And 35 dedicated finance workflows for the work analysts repeat every single week.
Think about what that actually means.
The work a junior analyst spends 60% of their time on:
Pulling Morningstar data for a comp analysis.
Building a PitchBook deal flow report.
Scraping Carbon Arc for ESG metrics.
Running the same Daloopa financial model update they run every quarter.
All of it is now a workflow inside one tool.
Not 4 different platforms with 4 different logins and 4 different monthly invoices.
One interface. 35 workflows. The data already there.
The Bloomberg Terminal costs $24,000 a year per seat.
It has dominated professional finance for 40 years because nothing could compete with its data breadth and workflow integration.
Perplexity just put licensed data from four major providers and 35 automated workflows into a product that is not $24,000 a year.
This is not a productivity upgrade for finance teams.
It is a pricing and accessibility attack on the most entrenched data monopoly in professional services.
The analysts who figure out how to use this before their competitors do will have a speed advantage that compounds every single week.
