Stocks Weekly CFPB Complaints
Weekly mapping of CFPB consumer complaints to listed companies with risk scores and metadata.
1,730,498 rows over 1,283 symbols, 25 columns, covering 2011-12-01 to 2026-04-10. The most recent observation is 2026-04-10.
Why It Matters
This dataset introduces consumer-complaint signals into financial equity models by:
- Reputational risk: Rising complaint intensity can foreshadow regulatory actions and spread widening for financial issuers.
- Event detection: Weekly cadence captures fresh issues that may not yet be reflected in prices.
- Alternative sentiment: Complaint narratives add a consumer-sentiment layer beyond traditional news feeds.
