Questions

Anything else: info@express-analysis.com

What do you need from me?

The company name and region, and either the link to its official website in the order form or its annual and sustainability reports sent to the analyst (PDFs or one ZIP archive) through a link the analyst provides.

How many years of reports are needed?

Every year of the chosen period: 5 to 10 consecutive recent years. If reports cover fewer than 5 years or a year is missing, the company cannot be analysed.

How quickly will I receive the report?

The report is sent to your email 5–7 business days after the invoice is paid.

How do I pay?

Once we have checked the reports, we email you an invoice with the details you gave in the order form. The analysis starts after the invoice is paid.

Which companies can be analysed?

Non-financial companies that publish financial statements and sustainability reports. Banks and insurers are outside the method.

Which sectors and regions are covered?

14 sectors in ten economic regions: North America, Western Europe, Developed Asia-Pacific, China, India, South-East Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa. Which sectors are available differs by region; the Methodology page shows the full table.

Is the analysis updated?

Yes. The analysis, the sector’s leading companies and the ratio boundaries are updated every year after annual reports are published.

Is this investment advice?

No. The reports are independent analytical research and are not investment advice or a credit rating.
