Yes, NLP, and sometimes structured data released by special services that receive the news alerts early, process them into a structured form, and then make them available at the same moment that the normal services do.

Yep, NLP. As a grad student in comp linguistics, I was surprised to find out that financial news was an enourmous application space for NLP, for exactly this sort of reason. Including the automation of content creation. Much financial news isn't written by a human, and hasn't been for a long while. It's too slow. Faster content creation equals faster actionable data equals huge advantage.
