In this article, we present BovDB, a data set that was built considering a source of the Brazilian Stock Exchange (B3) with information related to the years between 1995 and 2020. We have approached the events’ impact on the stocks byapplying a cumulative factor to correct prices. The results were compared with public data from InfoMoney and BR Investing, showing that our methods, are valid and follow the market standards, based on the proposed factor.
