Equity Research Overview
){kind=link}
Sustainability Research and Advocacy
Melvin & Company, as part of its focus on Clean Energy and Sustainability issues, conducts analysis on the sustainability record of major US and global corporations and can engage with those corporations on sustainability issues.
Our sustainability analysis is designed to highlight companies with a positive sustainability record and to also identify companies that have sustainability problems that should be screened from portfolios or addressed with advocacy. Melvin & Company can take the lead in gathering a group of like-minded investors and making sure that sustainability concerns are being heard at companies with sustainability problems. Experience has shown that pressure from the socially responsible investment community can have a positive impact in encouraging companies to improve their sustainability record, thus producing an overall benefit for society.
Clean Energy Equity Research
Melvin & Company provides our clients with full research coverage on the Clean Energy sector and individual stocks in that sector.
We issue individual company research reports (along with EPS projections and stock recommendations and target prices), research notes, and industry reports. We focus our company research on profitable, growth companies with market caps over $1 billion. Clients have full access to our research analysts. We can also facilitate conference calls and visits for our clients with company management.
We believe the certain areas of the Clean Energy sector provide attractive investment opportunities for investors for the following reasons:
- Clean Energy is already a $40 billion industry and we are forecasting annual growth of 15-30% over next decade (with growth rates varying for particular Clean Energy sub-sectors).
- Technology advancing quickly, reducing costs and improving competitiveness.
- Strong government support for foreseeable future.
- Growth industry providing accelerated shareholder value.
- Provides solutions to growing problems such as climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, national energy security, fossil fuel negatives, rapidly growing global electricity demand, and the need for cleaner and more efficient global power generation and transmission infrastructure.
Melvin & Company also provides our clients with a full complement of proprietary stock indexes covering the Clean Energy sector. These indexes allow investors to analyze performance and valuation in the Clean Energy sector as a whole and in various sub-sectors.
Melvin & Company Clean Energy Index™
- Our proprietary Melvin Clean Energy Index contains 47 companies that derive a significant portion of their revenue and earnings from Clean Energy. We also have Clean Energy sub-sector indexes for Solar Power, Ethanol, Fuel Cells, Power Efficiency, Clean Transportation, Clean Power Producers, and Cleaner Fossil Fuels.
- Combined market cap is over $100 billion.
- Average market cap size is $2 billion (median $500 million).
- Equal-dollar weighted index; rebalanced quarterly; 5-year history with base of 100 set to 12-31-2001.
- Equal-dollar weighting ensures that the index is tracking the "average" Clean Energy stock and is not dominated by any single company with a large market cap or high stock price.
