Understanding the Research

Glossary of Terms

Buy

Good fundamentals and quantifiable business opportunity all packaged at a reasonable valuation with good upside.

Reduce

Poor fundamentals or questionable business opportunity and trading at an unwarranted valuation.

Hold

Company performance is at a crossroads in terms of fundamentals or business operations with an identifiable degree of risk and reward in place. Certain future non-financial or financial performance could create attractive longer-term opportunity for investors. Near term risk exists and stock ownership should be dependent on tolerance of risk.

Speculative Buy

An identifiable business advantage evident at a valuation justifying buying at current prices. Certain non-financial or financial performance, however, may be either lacking or still developing, creating relatively increased volatility or risk. Buy at current prices but oriented to more speculative investors.

Tender

Analyst recommends investors tender shares to the current offer based on the information provided in the offering document.

Under Review
