Our deep-value ideas all have multiple catalysts that are likely to unfold over the next 6-12 months to unlock value. We offer 10+ page research reports with detailed IS/BS/CF forecasts, rigorous ratio analysis and Discounted Cash Flow valuations alongside price targets on all recommendations. Our team consists of 3 highly skilled analysts with Masters degrees and extensive industry experience.
