We focus on the fundamental analysis of companies, to fully understand a company's business model, the markets it's active in, its competitive quality (i.e. what does the company do better/worse than its peers and why) and market growth. Based on our findings we create meaningful research, build our comprehensive financial model and derive future growth, earnings power, cash flows, etc. which will eventually allow us to determine a fair value per share. We regularly review our estimates and make changes whenever necessary.

The price target of a company is the fair value per share that we derived from our estimates on future growth, earnings power, cash flows, etc. of the company.

Once we initiate the coverage of a company, which usually happens in the form of a long note with 20-30 pages, we write regular updates. In these updates, we pick up any important newsflow (e.g. earnings releases, cross-reads from peers or the industry, ad-hoc announcements), explain it and derive the potential impact on our investment case.

Our research is freely available through the "Research" section on our website, dpa and Bloomberg and other partner platforms. Furthermore, we also condense the content of our research into a simple and understandable message, which can be accessed through our social media channels; Instagram and Twitter.
