Launched in 2024, Lighthouse Equity Research is an extension of Sidoti & Company, LLC’s Company Sponsored Research Program (CSR), which has grown to over 50% of Sidoti’s equity coverage universe. Lighthouse services the specific research needs of companies with stocks not conducive to traditional valuation metrics such as earnings and cash flow or that have difficulty obtaining analyst coverage due to perceived political risk or other factors. Lighthouse leverages Sidoti’s 25 years of experience in covering and providing corporate access to small and micro-cap companies to address a vastly underserved market through a widely accepted, independent-sponsored research platform introduced in 2016.

Lighthouse addresses companies’ specific challenges, including (i) finding analysts dedicated to a deep understanding of their financials and potential and conveying the attendant investment thesis, (ii) receiving highly active coverage, and (iii) obtaining visibility in an investment community that eschews companies viewed as requiring too much effort to understand. Lighthouse leverages the reputation Sidoti has earned as Wall Street’s leading independent small and micro-cap research provider since 1999 and will advance companies’ access to Sidoti’s 2,500 institutional relationships and growing investor network. Importantly, Lighthouse personnel will also work with IR professionals of covered companies to make sure that the effort is coordinated and properly targeted.

Companies are covered by FINRA-registered analysts producing research who must follow rigorous regulatory standards. Lighthouse research will be made publicly available through Sidoti’s website and across leading financial data outlets such as FactSet, Bloomberg, Capital IQ, and Refinitiv. Lighthouse companies can also take advantage of other Sidoti or Sidoti-affiliate outreach vehicles, including non-deal roadshows or participating in the firm’s eight fee-based annual virtual investor conferences.
