What it measures

Financial PhraseBank asks whether an English sentence from financial news or a company release is positive, negative, or neutral from an investor's view of the stock, using only the sentence. Sentiment that is not about financial impact is labelled neutral. It is single-turn text classification, not numerical QA. Not [financebench](financebench.md), not [fin_qa](fin_qa.md), and not [financeiq](financeiq.md).

Task format

HELM generates a label string after instructions that list positive, neutral, and negative. The scenario shuffles the chosen agreement file with seed 121 and cuts a 70/30 train/test split. Original work has no canonical train/test split; Hugging Face exposes four agreement configs as a single train split each.
