Water Tower Research

Water Tower Research is a leading equity research firm that provides research on micro, small and mid cap companies.

Water Tower Research was founded by Wall Street veterans after witnessing a fundamental shift in the investment research industry with the result being a declining knowledge base among investors, a lack of awareness and a shrinking pool of fundamental research being conducted on companies across the small-cap and micro-cap spectrum. The same issues are now increasingly occurring in the mid-cap space. This sea change within the investment community is impacting not only the companies themselves but also current shareholders and potential investors. With significantly less active sell-side sponsorship by Wall Street, a substantial information gap has developed between companies and various constituents in the financial community. The net result is fewer channels for insight and information to flow between companies and investors.

That’s a lot of volatility – continued Strait of Hormuz shutdown sends shockwaves through energy complex only to see prices substantially decline less than 24 hours later. As the Iran war continued into week two with the Israeli military striking several Iranian fuel sites, oil prices began trading this week with the one of the largest one-day price moves on record. After climbing ~30% last week to just under $93/bbl, Brent oil spot prices spiked as high as $117/bbl (+26%) when trading opened Sunday evening.
