Towards maximum shareholder value

As experts in investor communications, we firmly believe that the markets should be listened to carefully and continuously. Investor confidence comes from the company's ability to turn opportunities and challenges into profitably growing businesses that ultimately also generate expected returns for shareholders.

Many Finnish listed companies are now struggling with the low valuation of their shares and wondering if anything can be done. The valuation of many companies is better towards the level that is also sought in investor communications – the fair value of shares.

High-interest rates and inflation have had a negative impact on both companies’ growth opportunities and share valuations for a long time. In a generally uncertain global situation, small peripheral markets such as Finland tend to suffer more than other markets. In the stock market, there are many factors affecting valuation that corporate management cannot do anything about. However, it is not worth waiting for better times, but creating a favorable situation for them.

Of course, there are no IR Pirkka tricks, but as an expert in investor communications, we firmly believe that it is worth constantly listening to the markets. Investor confidence comes from the company’s proven innovativeness and ability to turn opportunities and challenges into profitably growing business that ultimately also generates the expected returns for shareholders.

We at Bravura conduct IR perception studies for our clients, in which we find out the views of institutional investors on the company. The study presents what the company looks like to the biggest investors and what the markets expect of the company for it to be an interesting investment target. Rarely do studies reveal the completely surprising, but they clarify and confirm IR’s and management’s suspicions.
