Big Data - Global Thematic Research
Big Data - Global Thematic Research
Summary
Ask any CEO how he expects to sell more products and cut more costs and he will tell you that Big Data features prominently in his strategy. Big Data refers to the technology processes by which companies can profit from the large amounts of data to which they have access.
But investors who want to ride the Big Data wave are finding that it is not that easy to identify where to invest.
If it is believed that Big Data could be a significant investment theme for the rest of this decade, then the big question is where in the value chain will the money be? To answer this question, various components of the Big Data value chain are split and various technology trends impacting each one are looked at.
In this report, we delve deep down into the Big Data supply chain and look at where the power really lies. We split the industry into seven sectors, identifying winners and losers in each space.
Scope
This report is part of our ecosystem of thematic investment research reports, supported by our “thematic engineâ€.
About our Thematic Research Ecosystem
GlobalData has developed a unique thematic methodology for valuing technology, media and telecom companies based on their relative strength in the big investment themes that are impacting their industry. Whilst most investment research is underpinned by backwards looking company valuation models, GlobalData’s thematic methodology identifies which companies are best placed to succeed in a future filled with multiple disruptive threats. To do this, GlobalData tracks the performance of the top 600 technology, media and telecom stocks against the 50 most important themes driving their earnings, generating 30,000 thematic scores. The algorithms in GlobalData’s “thematic engine†help to clearly identify the winners and losers within the TMT sector. Our 600 TMT stocks are categorised into 18 sectors. Each sector scorecard has a thematic screen, a risk screen and a valuation screen. Our thematic research ecosystem has a three-tiered reporting structure: single theme, multi-theme and sector scorecard. This report is a Single Theme report, offering in-depth research into a specific theme. It identifies winners and losers based on technology leadership, market position and other factors.
