The challenge
How do you turn the buy-side and the sell-side into fans? How do you educate the market about your management track record and the future potential of your company? The complexity a typical investor relations department needs to address has multiplied over the past decade, but the headcount has not.
Our expertise
Our proprietary consulting frameworks and technologies can transform your relationship with analysts and investors, enabling your IR function to focus on what is important, and thereby deliver maximum value.
The challenge
Leaders often feel powerless when their company’s share price declines or receives a “sell” rating.
Our expertise
Iridium helps put leaders back in the driving seat by diagnosing the causes of the negative trend, setting clear priorities and helping companies to turn things around.
The challenge
Low trading activity is one of the greatest threats to Middle East companies, acting as a major obstacle to institutional investors, fuelling unwanted volatility and material share price discounts.
Our expertise
Iridium helps companies to correct the underlying causes of low liquidity, and works with partners to ensure there is always a counterparty when investors want to transact.
The challenge
Investors demand more from leaders. No longer happy with mere compliance, they want access to management, high grade information, guidance and disclosure that goes beyond the minimum.
Our expertise
Iridium enables leaders to stand out from the crowd and exceed the expectations of even the most demanding of institutional investors.
The challenge
Best practice in investor relations is advancing every year across the MENA region, but do you really know whether investors see you as a mature public company?
Our expertise
Iridium helps companies to determine their IR Maturity level, providing invaluable benchmarking insights that help organizations and leaders define where they need to play to remain competitive.
The challenge
You think you are doing everything right, but your competitors consistently steal the spotlight of analysts and investors, relegating your organization and leadership to “also-ran” status.
Our expertise
Iridium uses a proprietary diagnostic framework and peer group analysis to scientifically identify where a company is falling short of market expectations and develops action plans to reverse the situation.
The challenge
How do you know if you have hit your target if you are not measuring your performance?
Our expertise
When all levels in the organisation have the right data at the right time, performance can be accurately tracked and monitored, allowing the activities that investors care about to become self-correcting and dynamic.
The challenge
Just like improving corporate performance, improving your investor relations function really does make you a better company.
Our expertise
If investors understand your strategy, your operational and financial roadmap and your talent, they are more likely to invest in your stock. The outcomes are obvious: improved valuation, liquidity, upgraded target price, reduced finance costs and greater total returns for shareholders – a virtuous cycle.
The challenge
Do you want to be seen as the leader in your industry, your stock to be considered a market proxy and top performer? How do you become a “must-have” stock?
Our expertise
Iridium helps companies understand how investors differentiate between the good and the great, helping management to prioritise re-active and pro-active, value-drivers over financials and future potential over past performance.
The challenge
Regulators across the region are obliging companies to take investor relations seriously, but it is often difficult to know where to start.
Our expertise
Iridium has extensive experience in building investor relations functions from the ground up, providing training and taking care of the heavy lifting to ensure the function delivers value from day one.
The challenge
A shareholder base dominated by buy-and-hold investors restricts growth opportunities and does not reward performance.
Our expertise
Iridium helps boards and managements to diversify their shareholder base, reducing risk and accessing new pools of capital.
The challenge
Whether it is an IPO, an acquisition, a restructuring, or a spin-off, during transactions there is often a disconnect between the board, management, advisors and the target investors.
Our expertise
Iridium acts as a true enabler before, during, and after a transaction. We help to align strategy, finance, communications, advisors and investor relations to ensure that every deal results in the best possible outcome.
The challenge
The best companies stay ahead of the pack by pre-empting investor concerns, driving analyst consensus and closing information gaps.
Our expertise
Iridium provides companies with insights into analyst models to ensure they perceive the business as you do, understand the company strategy and reinforce the management’s vision and objectives.
The challenge
Crises come in all shapes and sizes: from earnings decline, to leadership change or unforeseen events. For investors, they are manifestations of risk and a time when the spotlight falls on a company’s leadership.
Our expertise
Iridium consultants are experts in managing crises, enabling leadership teams to understand the scale and impact quickly, pre-empt investor concerns and ensure that all stakeholders understand what is being done to overcome the disruption.
The challenge
You are proud of your strategic, operational and financial success, but the markets don’t reward your efforts, don’t understand your value proposition and don’t pay much attention to your achievements.
Our expertise
Iridium helps leaders to strengthen strategic focus and actively manage expectations to build consensus within and outside the company about where you are going and how you will get there.
The challenge
How do you turn the buy-side and the sell-side into fans? How do you educate the market about your management track record and the future potential of your company? The complexity a typical investor relations department needs to address has multiplied over the past decade, but the headcount has not.
Our expertise
Our proprietary consulting frameworks and technologies can transform your relationship with analysts and investors, enabling your IR function to focus on what is important, and thereby deliver maximum value.
