Markets Intelligence reviews a recent engagement with a Global Tier 1 N.American Base Metals Producer.

The initial requirement of the engagement was to define the producer’s global buy/sell-side profile. The client needed ‘market radar’ which defined market analysis and expectations in the context of a peer group benchmark. Clarification of these elements would form the basis of an effective, strategy review, next phase advisory and renewed strategic IR plan.

Markets Intelligence took on the challenge by leveraging our (40) buy/sell-side analyst based custom review of Global Base Metals. This comprehensive annual review defined/analyzed critical sector/client issues; corporate profiles; peer group comparative analysis; stock analysis and investor relations benchmarking/improvement.

The report was delivered in two sections: a Full Sector Report and a proprietary Strategic Roadmap with detailed analysis including a review of the top 40 global producers based on over 40 top buy/sell-side analysts/portfolio manager interviews.

The client evaluated the impact of MI’s ‘70:20:10’ Matrix findings from the review and presented both findings & MI advisory to the board: These covered: critical issues analysis (CEO/leadership; major shareholder dynamics; market profile versus peer-competitors; etc.); strategy review/advisory; strategic IR review/advisory ‘roadmap’, global peer group competitive analysis, and investor profile analysis.

The client was able to use MI’s ‘Roadmap’ to reshape strategy definition and market profile, upgrade their IR, address key market concerns impacting stock value, and achieve significant improvements in market positioning with investors and analysts.
