We promise highest research quality and optimum support. We supply our clients value added research, which is way beyond the contents of the financial reports and the typical press releases of the company. We rely on many years of experience as analysts and invest in intensive communications with the management of the companies in our coverage. We use all customary valuation methods with the goal of ensuring the best possible transparency for investors.
Thanks to our focus as a pure-play research firm, we are not subject to conflicts of interests that might arise in integrated investment banks due to other departments' requirements or financial participations. As a basic principle, our analysts do not invest in the companies covered by Sphene Capital GmbH. Any remaining potential conflicts of interest are disclosed.
Established in 2010, Sphene Capital GmbH considers itself to be the quality leader in equity and bond research for German small and mid caps.
The initiation report commences with an outline of the company's business model. We provide an in-depth analysis of its products and services, value chain and unique selling propositions (USPs). In addition, we analyze the company's competitive position, the level of competitive intensity, supplier and customer structures and the enterprise's positioning by region and sector. We perform a SWOT analysis of strengths and weaknesses and, if applicable, a competitive analysis on the basis of Porter's model.
The next step involves analysis of the company's historical financial data. Ideally, we take a look at financial reports across a full economic cycle. Proceeding from there, we forecast future financial data, putting together a comprehensive, integrated model made up of segment analysis, income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement..
Finally, we perform the company valuation. We use all customary valuation methods and select those geared best to the specific situation of the company in question; in some cases, we might even develop valuation methods of our own.
Due to our cooperation with the leading German information service provider, our research products are distributed to all relevant news agencies like Reuters, Bloomberg oder S&P Capital IQ, newspapers and financial publications. In addition, there are approximately 6,500 institutional investors, asset managers and family offices in Germany and other European countries with an affinity for small caps on the distribution list. We maintain regular face-to-face and phone contacts with these information multipliers and support them in their investment decisions.
We also have contacts with influential journalists and stock-market newsletters and regularly write articles for them on the companies we cover.
Upon request, we organize non-deal related roadshows to institutional clients in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the UK.
Alongside original research services, we offer management training in the area of capital markets communications and compile and update company fact books and enterprise presentations upon request.
