Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Equality Asset Management backed OptionMetrics on August 5, 2026, funding expansion and development.
  • IvyDB US 7.0 and ETF 5.0 launched February 19, 2026 with better methodologies.
  • Intraday IvyDB US on Snowflake targets 0DTE demand and broader quant workflows.

What critics are saying

  • ORATS sells cheaper options data and intraday archives, pressuring OptionMetrics pricing since 2026.
  • Cboe DataShop and IVolatility offer authoritative or accessible alternatives, weakening renewal leverage.
  • A private-equity owner undercuts founder-era independence; integration stumbles could slow product leadership by 2027.

What makes OptionMetrics unique

  • IvyDB US spans January 1996 onward, a deep institutional options history moat.
  • OptionMetrics pairs historical options with intraday snapshots, Snowflake access, and Genie loaders.
  • Borrow-rate-aware pricing and Woodseer dividend forecasts improve model precision versus static datasets.

OptionMetrics rolls out IvyDB US 7.0 and IvyDB ETF 5.0

OptionMetrics rolls out IvyDB US 7.0 and IvyDB ETF 5.0. OptionMetrics, a historical options data and analytics provider for institutional investors and academic researchers worldwide, today announced the release of IvyDB US 7.0 and IvyDB ETF 5.0, giving investors, hedge funds, and quantitative researchers expanded high-quality options data and more ways in which to leverage it. One of the biggest added benefits of OptionMetrics IvyDB US 7.0 and IvyDB ETF 5.0 is greater flexibility in the methodologies employed in options data calculations. Users can opt for borrow rates - the interest cost associated with holding a stock intended for short sale- or continue to use legacy calculations that do not embed an implied borrow rate. Implied index yields are also now provided in a term structure format for improved calculations. Additionally, dividend forecasts from leading-edge Woodseer Dividend Forecast data are automatically included alongside respective securities in the upgraded datasets, for quantitative finance professionals and others to assess dividend strategies. IvyDB US 7.0 and IvyDB ETF 5.0 also offer even more accurate securities and implied volatility (IV) price metrics with this leading-edge dividend forecast data now also being used in their calculations. "OptionMetrics' IvyDB US 7.0 is our most comprehensive and flexible dataset yet. By leveraging borrow rates and including Woodseer Dividend Forecast data alongside the longstanding gold standard in options data, this update provides more precise valuations and richer data for use in options and equities strategies," said Eran Steinberg, COO at OptionMetrics. OptionMetrics IvyDB US is known as the gold standard in historical options data. It contains a complete historical record of end-of-day data on all US exchange-traded equity and index options (including options on crypto and other ETFs and ADRs) on over 10,000 underlying stocks and indices from January 1996 onward. Users can seamlessly load data from IvyDB US or IvyDB ETF via FTP, Snowflake, and/or OptionMetrics' Genie loader, now also enhanced for easier loading.
