Compustat - Capital IQ (North America & Global)
A database with financial data on thousands of publicly-traded companies from around the world. (Different from S&P Capital IQ listed above.) Compustat is not a simple database to use: expect to spend time practicing with it to get what you need. Compustat is available via WRDS.

Note: A quick route to North American company ratios within the WRDS version is to choose Compustat, then click on Tools, then on Data and Ratios(XLS), then enter the ticker symbols of your target companies. Also, try the Complete Financial Statements (XLS) option in the same Tools area.
