Evaluate Research

Stock research on global mid-cap companies

Evaluate Research provides institutional quality stock research on small-cap and  mid-cap companies on a global basis, thus helping connect investors with the company.

At Evaluate Research, we provide free of cost to all investors a 20-25 page Initiation Report which evaluates in great detail all aspects of the company:  growth opportunities, catalysts, business description, competitive positioning, SWOT analysis, risks, etc.  In addition, we determine specific price targets for the company based on detailed 5-year complete forecasts of financial statements including IS, BS, CF, ratios, etc.  Finally, whereas many sell-side brokers offer sketchy and irregular ongoing maintenance research of companies, if not outright dropped or termination of coverage, at Evaluate Research we systematically monitor and regularly publish Update Notes covering quarterly earnings, major corporate events, etc.

All of the research reports are broadly and freely disseminated globally to leading Fund Managers and analysts who invest specifically in mid-size equities, and also on leading investment information platforms including: Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters, FactSet etc.

Toshiba Corp (6502 JP)'s Board has a Revised Opinion. It has recommended the Offer for reasons which smack of resignation rather than appropriate deliberation. Investors beware.
Given CR Power (836 HK)'s clean energy unit's profitably, a listing should be a significant event, attracting a wide audience, and probably a premium to other listed green energy plays.

Chindata Group (CD US) is unquestionably cheap. But Bain's indicative Offer is not the answer to long-suffering shareholders.
