Bridgestone Associates Equity Research segment caters to its diversified clientele. Our equity research team provides premium research services within agreed deadlines. Our associates (usually CFAs, MBAs or ACCA’s,) provide a full range of equity research services, ranging from searching and aggregating data, initiating coverage, building/updating financial models to complementing our client’s effort in publishing quarterly updates. Independence and objectivity are practised by our research division. Our Equity Research reports are designed keeping in mind the shortcomings of traditional equity research reports, such as not highlighting the assumptions used related to operational aspects of the company and providing sensitivity analysis with key variables etc. Our Equity Research Services are specifically valuable for buy-side clients, given the fact that our research team is not incentivized on issuing favourable research. Our research reports include, but are not limited to the following: -Investment Highlights -Investment Risks -SWOT analysis -Forecast of financial statements; -Absolute Valuation (DCF analysis, Gordon Growth, Sum of Parts, Residual Income ) -Relative Valuation (based on PE, PS, EV/EBITDA and other multiples) -Company profile (analysis of the business model, products, assets etc.) -Financial statement analysis
