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.

Conventional smelting has gone largely unchanged for more than a century.Generally operating at 1,200-1,600 degrees with toxic chemicals, smelters generate hazardous air emissions and solid waste contaminating surrounding soil and water.Ace’s electrochemical processes replace smelting for both lead and lithium, with the lead process using food-grade organic chemicals at room temperature to produce battery-grade output with no toxic solid waste and no Scope 1 air emissions for its proprietary process.
