How they describe themselves: Valuecruncher provides online interactive analyst reports (equity research) covering a broad range of companies in multiple markets. While providing recommendations for everyone, more advanced users can modify the valuation in the report using our interactive tools to adjust the discounted cash flow analysis (DCF). Modified valuations can be saved and shared. Valuecruncher currently covers 745 companies from the S&P500 (United States), FTSE350 (UK), TSX Composite (Canada), ASX200 (Australia) and NZX50 (New Zealand). Of the S&P500 Valuecruncher covers 370 companies. Valuecruncher is currently covering these 745 companies at an average cost of less than US$20 per company per month.
What they think makes them better: Traditionally analyst reports have been static documents - a review and valuation of a company completed by an analyst or team. These reports have got more complex over time. The reports also cannot be interacted with - you have to take the analyst's assumptions as given. Valuecruncher changes this. Valuecruncher supplies a valuation for each company based on consensus estimates for key assumptions and Valuecruncher inputs. Anyone can then modify the valuation in the report using our interactive tools to adjust the discounted cash flow analysis (DCF). Modified valuations can be saved and shared.
