Research only delivers value when it’s accessible to investors
Our research is broadly distributed through a variety of channels and is widely accessible. Unlike traditional sell-side firms that restrict access to commission-paying clients, we do not seek trading commissions from institutions. Instead, we offer unrestricted access to our research, analysts, and financial models.
Institutional Platforms – Our research is available on all major data services, including Bloomberg, FactSet, S&P Capital IQ, and Blue Matrix.
Digital Media – We issue press releases via financial news services such as Yahoo Finance and PR Newswire. These releases include direct links to our reports, granting both institutional and retail investors full access.
Direct Outreach – Our sales team creates a customized target list of institutional investors and distributes our research reports directly to those targets on a quarterly basis.
Reduced sell-side analyst coverage has left public companies overlooked
With the continued decline of traditional Wall Street coverage—especially for small- and mid-cap companies—company-sponsored research has become a critical tool for increasing visibility and engaging institutional investors. Regulatory changes, shrinking margins, and reduced analyst coverage have left many quality companies overlooked by the sell-side.
Stonegate fills that gap. Our CFA-level analysts provide independent, in-depth research that includes full financial analysis, strategic business commentary, and regular updates to ensure alignment with the company’s evolving story. We cover income statements, balance sheets, cash flows, and key developments, offering clear insights into performance and future outlook.
Our reports are integrated into consensus estimates and distributed widely to the investment community, helping ensure your story reaches the right audience. By delivering objective, high-quality analysis, we empower investors to make informed decisions and help position your company for long-term interest and broader institutional engagement.
