Director of Research & Consulting

Sporting Goods Monitor

We’re Forward View, a boutique equity research firm. We pride ourselves on developing unique analyses of companies the sporting goods sector. We have news-making insights into the sporting goods industry and numerous professional contacts in the relevant businesses. Our combination of experience and connections to key individuals makes our investment calls worthy of attention. Forward View will continue to deliver alpha to client portfolios because our proven analytical processes just work. We employ a dedicated team of four analysts focused on U.S. sports and outdoor companies ranging from micro to large-cap stocks. The difference between Forward View and most equity research sellers is our commitment to all sizes of investment firms. We actively seek opportunities to serve the companies that are overlooked by bulge-bracket research supermarkets.  Our research is followed across Wall Street and around the globe. Forward View reports are regularly read by multi-billion dollar hedge funds and international asset managers. They trust in the quality and accuracy of our work, and you can, too. 


We publish detailed and balanced initiation reports when we begin covering a new stock, but we won’t bury you in meaningless factoids. Our initiation reports focus on actionable insights and an analysis of the relationship between a company and its industry (1–2/year). Our earnings analyses focus on the best/worst aspects of earnings to summarize key information. Forward View publishes a quarterly earnings review for every covered stock. All earnings analyses include fresh corporate valuations and earnings estimates (80/year). We also issue one-page flash notes as warranted by covered company and sector news. Flash notes may also include updated earnings estimates and minor revisions to an investment thesis (approximately 50/year). Our analysts actively seek opportunities to engage in field research, too. Whether we visit a covered company’s retail store, meet with a management team or conduct a test of a new sporting goods product, our periodic field research is always engaging and fresh (approximately 4–6/year). In addition, our Director of Research publishes a review of sporting goods, firearms and boat sales while giving his own unique perspective of the sectors we cover. Expect to be enlightened and occasionally entertained (12/year). Client questions will be answered within 24 hours by email or phone. Quarterly conference calls with clients shall also be available.
