Valens Research utilizes the world’s most detailed and comprehensive Uniform Accounting in proprietary equity, credit, and global macro analysis, removing discrepancies and distortions inherent in as-reported financial statements.
Valens employs this cross-capital, unbiased, highly-forensic methodology on a database of more than 32,000 companies, assessing performance and valuations across stocks, bonds, and entire markets.
Top money managers and today’s greatest investors have long known that “Net earnings don’t represent what’s really going on in the business” and that “GAAP is not truth or reality.” How different does the world look, and every stock and bond in it, when adjustments are made for worldwide inconsistent and distorted reporting of R&D, acquisitions, divestitures, off-balance sheet assets and debts, and dozens of others?
Join us to find out how companies’ True Earning Power and valuations appear, for Merrill Lynch’s own buy list, and other firms in the market.
In our monthly macro reports, we use our aggregate cleaned-up PE’s, EPS, ROIC, and other valuation metrics for over 32,000 companies to get more accurate insight into future market upturns or downturns.

- Signaling on March 18th, 2020 that we were primed for a rebound from overly pessimistic levels, due to exaggerated negative investor sentiment and stronger than perceived credit fundamentals, before the market rallied rapidly off the lows of March
- Warned in January 2020 that markets were primed for a potential correction due to a lack of investor focus on potential risks in the market, before the market fell over 30% from the February highs to the March lows
- Signaling investors to be heavily invested ahead of the September-December 2017 7%+ rally in the markets
- Helping investors avoid the markets ahead of the early 2016 12%+ sell-off
