Nokian Renkaat (TYRES FH)- Tire Manufacturer Facing Multiple Headwinds

After Falling 50%+ in a Few Months Is Nokian Renkaat (TYRES FH) A "Buy" Or "Sell"?

Vision Research

Vision Research was formed in 2004 with the vision of generating the best possible fundamental analysis and investment research for smid cap US equities. In 2008, we broadened our coverage to include mid/large cap US stocks.  After researching a  few ideas outside the US each year for a number of years, we launched a dedicated non-US equity product at the end of 2015.  This was followed by the introduction of a product focused on IPOs in mid-2017.
