Equity Analysis and Due Diligence
New Edge Analytics is a business opportunity research and investment analysis firm that evaluates financial performance of companies in the Information Technology industry. Companies in the core research universe illustrate the economic growth and cyclical nature of the inputs to IT manufacturing, nominally software and semiconductors.
Proxy Discovery
NEA exercises a disciplined approach to performance recognition and seeks proxies. A company has a proxy when NEA attributes sales growth to a tangible product that, standing alone, makes a positive contribution to earnings and moves the price of the stock. This is called a pure play – clearly identifiable growth of a business that dominates financial performance of the company.
Publishing
New Edge publishes according to our proprietary research interests. We endeavor to distribute timely posts about rapid-growth companies in the IT industry through this website, email and social media. Ideas are based on stock market performance, SEC filings, press releases, earnings announcements, management conference calls, among other public and private sources used for due diligence. Lately, we are relying on posts to social media to pass along relevant information about companies in the Research Universe between quarterly earnings announcements.
NEA supports STEM education, following a thread that the inputs to software development and semiconductor manufacturing are an educated workforce and skilled labor.
