How it works
Discovery
We build a comprehensive company inventory cataloguing target equities, their sectors, financial statements, and market dynamics. Peer groups, macroeconomic drivers, analyst views, filings, and sentiment indicators are mapped.
Output: Equity landscape report, opportunity indicators, baseline coverage readiness assessment.
Assessment
With the income statement baseline established, we build detailed revenue and cost forecasts based on identified economic drivers. A forecasting model is developed, translating strategic assumptions into projected income statements with all line items linked.
Output: Forecasting model, projected income statements, assumption documentation, driver linkage map.
Implementation and Analysis
We expand the model to include complete cash flow projections and a fully integrated three-statement financial model. Balance sheet assets, liabilities, and equity are forecast and validated against all linkages.
Output: Complete three-statement financial model, cash flow projections, integrated balance sheet.
Ongoing
We stress-test the model through scenario and sensitivity analysis, modelling varying assumptions across revenue growth, margins, and capital expenditure to identify the variables with the greatest impact on financial performance.
Output: Robust financial model, scenario outputs, sensitivity analysis, documented assumptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Equity analyst coverage is a research function that produces detailed investment analysis on a company — covering its business model, financial performance, valuation, competitive positioning, and growth outlook. It typically results in a buy, hold, or sell recommendation supported by a financial model and investment thesis. Ancore provides institutional-grade equity coverage for private companies, mirroring the rigour and format of public market sell-side research.
-
Ancore delivers three core outputs: an equity research report with a comprehensive analysis including target price, rating, and key investment rationale; a valuation model and thesis built on peer-based comparables with scenario outputs; and ongoing coverage updates with quarterly refreshers tracking performance, earnings reactions, and thesis evolution.
-
Private companies typically lack the sell-side research coverage that public companies receive. Ancore fills that gap by producing investor-grade analysis that supports fundraising conversations, shareholder communications, board reporting, and strategic decision-making. It gives private company leadership the same quality of independent financial analysis that public market investors expect.
-
A three-statement financial model is an integrated financial framework that links the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement so that changes in one flow through to the others. It provides a complete picture of a company's financial health and is the foundation for valuation, scenario analysis, and investment decision-making. Ancore builds these models with full auditability and documented assumptions.
-
Ancore applies an institutional-grade internal review process to stress-test conclusions, logic, and investment rationale before delivery. The research methodology includes management-level deep dive analysis to challenge strategic assumptions, peer and industry benchmarking to contextualise performance, and independent forecast calibration to ensure projections are defensible.
-
This service is best suited for private company founders, CFOs, and investor relations teams that want institutional-quality research to support fundraising, shareholder communications, or strategic planning , as well as investment firms and family offices that need independent coverage on private companies in their portfolio or pipeline.
