Independent research and strategic valuation support for listed companies

Public companies operate in a complex environment of transparency, stakeholder scrutiny, and ever-changing market dynamics. High-quality capital markets research helps listed companies communicate their value story, navigate major decisions, and maintain investor confidence. AN Valuations provides both periodic and sponsored research, combining independent insight with valuation expertise.

We publish our own research on major platforms, and also support companies directly with in-depth analysis, scenario modelling, and valuation studies. Whether your company is considering a delisting, evaluating an acquisition, or communicating a new strategic direction, we help you do so with clarity, confidence, and credibility.

What Is Capital Markets Research?

Capital markets research refers to in-depth financial and strategic analysis of public companies, securities, or industry trends, often used by investors, analysts, and corporate decision makers. It includes equity research, valuation studies, and scenario modelling, and may take the form of:

• Coverage or earnings reports
• Valuation opinions
• Strategic transaction research (e.g. M&A, delisting)
• Sponsored or commissioned research for investor communications

Independent research is typically published by analysts and does not include material non-public information. Sponsored research is paid for by the company itself but aims to maintain objectivity and transparency, following strict standards to ensure credibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is sponsored research?
Sponsored research is financial research commissioned by the subject company, often to increase visibility and improve communication with investors. It remains independent and transparent, but is funded by the company rather than a third-party analyst or broker.

How is sponsored research different from traditional analyst coverage?
Traditional analyst research is produced independently and often for the benefit of brokerage clients. Sponsored research is paid for by the company itself and may be broader in scope, including strategic analysis, not just investment recommendations. It must clearly disclose sponsorship to ensure transparency.

When does a listed company need valuation or modelling support?
Valuation support is often required for: delisting or public-to-private transactions, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), restructuring or capital allocation decisions, investor communication during periods of volatility and fairness assessments or disputes with investors or regulators.

Scenario modelling is helpful when management is evaluating multiple strategies or when markets are highly uncertain.

Does AN Valuations use non-public information?
For sponsored research, we do not use material non-public information. If clients require valuation support that involves such information (e.g. internal forecasts), this is done under confidentiality and not disclosed in public research.

Where is your research published?
We publish research on major financial research platforms and distribute directly to clients, investors, and advisers. Sponsored reports may also be hosted on the client’s investor relations page or financial media outlets.
