Enhancing company value through media relations
When was the last time you got your hands on something that could impact company value 35%? You just did–outstanding investor relations. According to Rivel’s”nationally representative sample of 250 buy-side investors” from various industries, three out of four said “good IR does have an impact.”
In fact, quoting Rivel’s blog,
“When asked to quantify this impact, the results were quite compelling. IR can account for a total variance of 35% in a company’s valuation – ranging from a premium of 10% for “superb” IR to a discount of fully 25% for “poor” IR. This is notable because just three years ago when we asked the same question, buy-side investors estimated a discount of 15%, so the risk associate with poor IR is increasing.”
