Know What's Behind Your Stock Price
There's truth in the old adage: "It's not what we don't know that hurts us, but what we know that ain't so." What do you think investors know about you?
Often management teams believe investors don't understand their company. "We don't get credit for the good things we're doing, and we take a hit for negatives in the market that have nothing to do with us."
If this sounds familiar, then you need to know what the market sees when it looks at your company. Financial Relations Board is experienced in valuation studies that go beyond investor perceptions and into specific actions you can take to increase the value placed on your stock.
We use a valuation framework based on Economic Margin™, created by the Applied Finance Group (AFG). A growing number of portfolio managers also use this approach, because it includes a valuation system that addresses the four main drivers of enterprise value: profitability, competition, growth, and cost of capital.

Our approach to valuation is just as thorough as those provided by investment bankers, with three important differences:
- Timely and cost effective – we've made investments in valuation software so you won't have to. We'll provide you with the basic portfolio manager's drill – what jumps out at first glance.
- Insightful analysis – we begin with sophisticated models to handle the analysis. Then we add the color commentary on what this reveals – and do it in plain English.
- Clear action plan – we do more than present the results: we develop an action plan that includes the best ways to address misperceptions and better share the information investors need to justify a better valuation.
We ask the tough questions and give you straight talk from investors:
- Are your company's actions creating long-term value and not just a near-term bump in revenues and earnings?
- Do investors understand how you are using your cash to strengthen your balance sheet – and your capacity for growth?
- Do investors believe reinvesting in your business is the best way to spend your cash – or that you should be returning it to shareholders in the form of higher dividends, a special dividend or a stock repurchase?
- Are investors discounting your opportunities because of industry-related factors?
- How much growth already is "baked in" to your current price – and are these expectations really achievable?
