Battle Road Research, an equity research firm, serves fund managers, analysts, and financial advisors with an independent voice on technology, healthcare, solar power, and education stocks. Battle Road analysts place an equal weight on industry and securities analysis in an effort to seek out stocks to buy and stocks to avoid. As an integral part of our research process, we tap into a network of industry sources who provide insight into the companies we cover. We present our conclusions in a straight-forward Buy, Hold, Sell format. As a matter of principle, we refrain from investment banking, company-paid reports, and personal investment in the stocks we research. Visit us on the web at www.battleroad.com.
