Business & Financial Services Client Testimonials

“Frost & Sullivan’s financial work has proven to be a very valuable tool for our research efforts. As an institutional investor with a long-term investment horizon, the fundamental information and comprehensive look at both large- and small-cap stocks helps us evaluate new potential investments, is a valuable source of proprietary investment ideas, and provides us with a solid platform to assist in tracking our portfolio.”

— Director of Research, Leading Asset Management Firm

“As you may have read by now, XYZ received all of the necessary approvals required to close the $9.5 billion ABC acquisition. This transaction represents one of the largest deals ever signed by an industrial business within the company. It also fundamentally changes the scope of our Medical Systems business which has become “XYZ Healthcare." Although you did not know it at the time, our team was relying upon the team at Frost to turn around analysis related to this deal in a very short period of time, under considerable pressure, and with accuracy and completeness not compromised. You delivered and we are very thankful for that. Obviously, given your ability to deliver results we will consider Frost our first line of contact for research in these areas in the future. ”

— Director, Global Business Development

“Frost & Sullivan played a vital role in helping us to determine whether or not we should expand one of our businesses worldwide. Early on, it became clear that some of the opportunities were very different than what we had originally thought. We were particularly appreciative of the team’s flexibility with regards to changes in the project direction. While we had hoped for more worldwide expansion opportunities, we were confident that the fact base Frost & Sullivan helped build led us to the right answer, and ultimately saved us $ millions in a failed market entry attempt into unattractive markets. Through our work with Frost & Sullivan, we developed a strategic plan that was quickly approved by our senior management team. I look forward to working with Frost & Sullivan again. ”

— Global Vice President, Marketing

“We were fortunate to have a F&S team on the ground in three continents to conduct the research. This was instrumental in navigating through the various local cultural differences. Having become an extension to our team, F&S approached the assignment with enthusiasm, dedication, and professionalism. ”

— Vice President Marketing

“Frost & Sullivan worked with a leading U.S. hedge fund on a deep analysis of a key Point-of-Sale (POS) hardware. The stock had been depressed, as there was significant negative news flow around the firm, a new product offering, and fears that several large clients were canceling orders. The hedge fund needed to know how much was real vs. rumours. Through extensive primary research, Frost & Sullivan determined that many of the rumors were unfounded. As a result, the hedge fund bought significant shares on the decline, and had an appreciation of over 50% as the firm’s true performance came to light. ”

“Frost & Sullivan worked with a leading proprietary trading desk on an analysis of a large European chemical firm. The desk had built up a sizable position in the stock. Many in the industry were bullish on the outlook for this firm and the stock. Frost & Sullivan, based on recent research into the supply-demand equation, was more bearish on this stock. The client, based on Frost & Sullivan research, greatly reduced its position before the stock declined by 35% over the next six months. ”
