In a consumer sector, all our clients have MScience and we don't, so we're doing all this work to guess at the truth is when the truth is already known, socialized among investors, and reflected in prices. B2B is a different story.
Nah 0 it’s all analyst dependent
My analyst owns those relationships. I know a bit about them, but dont even know who his checks are. Per quarter we usually get 3-5 meaningful calls and a handful that arent too helpful for whatever reason
Does he pay them or are they just willing to talk for free?
Analyst came from industry so knows a good amount of people. We dont pay for expert calls but know of some teams that do fwiw
Depends on the sector. My team does 2-3/week with most being very helpful towards forming a better investment opinion about ~50% self sourced.
