How It Works
Systematic research. Transparent assumptions. No agenda but accuracy.
For every company in our coverage:
Quick snapshot of the investment case
Our view on why we like or dislike the company
Revenue trends, margin analysis, cash flow generation
DCF, trading multiples, bull/base/bear scenarios
What could go wrong and how likely
Tailored perspectives for income, value, growth, quality investors
Every growth rate, margin expectation fully documented
8-factor scoring: Growth, Income, Quality, Efficiency, Health, Moat, Risk, Valuation
The Fundamental Shift
More reading = edge
Access = advantage
Filtering = edge
Curation = advantage
"It's like going from a drought to a flood. Different skills are needed."
The skill that served investors for generationsβconsuming as much information as possibleβnow works against you. In this new environment, the edge isn't consuming more. It's choosing better.
AI Handles
- β Reads hundreds of pages in hours
- β Extracts metrics & calculates ratios
- β Spots patterns & inconsistencies
- β Works at impossible speed
Humans Handle
- β Interprets what numbers mean
- β Applies context & industry knowledge
- β Decides what matters most now
- β Takes accountability for every call
Why AI Can't Do It Alone
AI doesn't know what it doesn't know. It can't say "I'm not sure" or "This situation is unprecedented." It generates authoritative-sounding responses regardless of underlying uncertainty. That's why every conclusion goes through human judgment. The AI processes. The analyst decides what it means.
"Revenue growth strong"
β Technically true
"Growth entirely from price increases (+12%), not volume (-4%). Margins inflated by one-time cost savings. Mean reversion likely."
β Actually useful

Why We're Not the Fastest (And Why That's Good)
Many AI platforms update within 1 hour of announcements. They're fast. But here's what they're usually delivering:
"Company X reported earnings. Revenue up 5%. EPS beat estimates by 2%. Stock trading up 3%."
That's reporting, not analysis. You could read that in the AFR.
We take 24-48 hours because we're:
- Reprocessing the entire DCF model with new financials
- Updating every assumption based on management commentary
- Revising valuation across all methods (DCF, multiples, scenarios)
- Testing implications for forward outlook
- Writing analysis you can actually use
- "Revenue up 5%"
- "Beat EPS estimates"
- "Stock trading $52"
- What you already know
- Revenue up 5%, driven by price (+12%), not volume (-4%)
- Margin expansion temporary from one-time cost savings
- Updated DCF: normalized margins return to 28% from 32%
- Valuation: $52 β $48 target. Buy β Hold
- What it MEANS for your portfolio
