Corporate research is a relative new form of information source for investors and followers of listed companies. Unlike the investment research of brokers and investment banks it does not provide a one-size fits all recommendation. The purpose of quality corporate research is to provide an objective assessment of the company's prospects, its competitive environment and a detailed analysis of its potential earnings.
