Overview: The statement discussed in the article is “Be persistent in seeking notice if you think your company is being ignored.” The challenge for many investor relations officers is to get investor and analyst attention. Reality is that most companies simply aren’t well known or even a little known by the buy-side analyst/portfolio manager community. The article explains the experts view that there are about 3,000 companies that are undervalued because investors lack good information. These include numerous mid-cap, small- and micro-cap companies. IR is all about managing expectations - and managing expectations is a process. It starts with a company’s ability to understand itself well enough to maintain internal forecasts that are close to reality. This means thoroughly understanding the dynamics of the business, the company’s markets, competitive forces and performance. It can be tricky. Some industries and companies are inherently more stable and predictable than others.
