KeyStone’s Fall 2020 LD Micro 500 Conference Report

Description

This September, KeyStone attended (virtually) the Fall 2020 LD Micro 500 conference from September 1st to September 4th. Attending were over 325 U.S. and Canadian publicly traded stocks and select private companies. Each gave presentations and most management teams were available for analyst interviews. Ahead of the event, KeyStone analysts researched and screened each presenting company based on current and forward-looking revenues, cash flow, and earnings. From our initial research and screening we were able to generate a list of just over 30 companies to proceed with further analysis. Following our viewings of each compa- ny’s presentation and our management interviews, we put together summaries and larger reports on 20 of these stocks including 3 initial coverage reports, 5 updates on companies currently in coverage, and 12 reports on stocks we are monitoring at various stages from the event.
