This methodology can be used to perform strategic planning and business development. It identifies each company’s relative competitive position within a technology and can identify those companies that are either active or have become inactive in research and development in that specific technology. From a business development perspective it can also identify a patent portfolio that may no longer be relevant to its holder but that may be an opportunity for another company.

COMPANY
NextWave Research, Inc. With over 30 years experience as a Wall Street institutional analyst, I’m very well known in the financial media and on Wall Street (if you Google “john putnam” “analyst” my work covers 20 pages of results). As you can imagine, my research coverage results in a significant increase in a company’s visibility ...More
and trading.
At NextWave Research, my most recent research articles have generated 78,363 impressions and over 4,125 reads, from more than 20 countries. And most importantly, it is freely accessible, worldwide, in 11 languages, to all investors on our well-regarded website at http://www.NextWaveResearch.com.
Today, close to 50% of all public companies have no research coverage at all, while at least 75% of all firms are under covered (defined as having less than 3 analysts covering these companies). As a result, these public companies suffer a discount in their stock price that can directly be attributed to their lack of research coverage. Unfortunately, given the economics of the small cap equity market, combined with the pressure most investment banks and brokerage firms are facing today, it is highly unlikely that small and micro cap companies will find it easier to get sell-side research coverage in the future.
Our website (http://nextwaveresearch.com) fully describes our unique approach to research and reasons your company should strongly consider becoming a client of NextWave Research. Please call me at your convenience to explore how together we can help you increase your investment visibility.
