The Enterprise Service is intended for top executives of quoted companies. It provides CFOs and CEOs with a detailed description of the company's – and the competition's - interface with financial markets.

The data it contains is from Associés en Finance's regularly updated databases – Consensus and Security_Market_Line – and from a selection of other accounting and financial sources.

There is no substitute for capable management as the primary driver of share price outperformance. Nevertheless, executives must also have the ability to monitor the relationship between their company's reality and outlook on the one hand and their interpretation by the market on the other.

This necessity has grown with investors' and managers' shared concern with building shareholder value and with shareholders' increasing role as partners in the enterprise.

The Enterprise Service provides observation and analysis of:

-recent absolute and relative share price performance, as a function of a number of micro and macroeconomic criteria

-the evolution of analysts' estimates of the company's future earnings, dividends, and cash flows, edited, harmonized, and analyzed by Associés en Finance

-the evolution of earnings visibility and the degree of consensus in analysts' estimates for the client company and the companies in its peer group

-the valuation factors of the market as a whole and the determinants of value for the stock: future flows, relative risk, liquidity, expected return, under or over-valuation

-the valuation of the stock relative to its European or global peer group

-the valuation of the company's options program for management and employees, as a function of the program's characteristics, the stock itself, and the company's capital structure.

An executive summary synthesizes the above.

The Enterprise Service contributes to:

-the improvement of corporate communications and shareholder relations

-the creation of shareholder wealth and shareholder value

-the valuation of other shareholdings

-better access to capital markets

-the implementation of options plans

-the development of a coherent corporate financial policy

-monitoring the competition's financial and share price performance.
