How? We combine intensive quantitative forensic accounting and daily store-level primary research to provide the most comprehensive fundamental research available in the retail/consumer sector. This research is performed by analysts with industry financial and operational expertise.
Our forensic accounting and earnings analytics yield a much sharper understanding of a company’s earnings quality and subsequent earnings power. We don’t simply plug-in numbers to match management’s EPS guidance. Rather, we diligently seek to understand all components of a company’s financial statements to more accurately forecast EPS.
Our equity research yields superior EPS forecasts and top-line inflection point identification.

On the qualitative side, we are in shopping malls performing primary research every day, not just once a week or month. This consistency allows us to identify top-line inflection points and/or early warning signs. We generally identify these inflection points well ahead of our peers and prior to disclosure by management.
Our combined focus on intensive earnings quality analytics and store-level primary research yields generally contrarian 3-12 month EPS forecasts that are more accurate than traditional sell-side equity research.
