ValueScan operates as a team of independent analysts with strong industry track records. Valuation is based on a standardised method for all companies, independent of their size or sector . Each report delivers a long term analysis of the business plan and cash flows per segment. The model identifies 3 main drivers that are examined separately : Growth, Profitability and Capital needs. Most equity research overemphasises Growth and ignores Capital needs. An EVA analysis is presented to back test the results. Valuation theory is simplified to a level that strikes the right balance between complexity and flexibility. Valuescan operates fully independent from financial institutions, companies or other conflicts of interest. ValueScan analysts avoid mass investor happenings and herd behaviour. The ValueScan method assumes that eventually a company will reflect its true fair value when hype or over pessimism normalises.
