The Buyside on Company & Sector Dynamics
In the current market environment, more than ever we are looking for independent and thought-provoking research. We want to know what the next big trends are and not just where the pharma industry stands at the moment. We want to know the issues facing the companies as well as the opportunities they may benefit from in the future. This is exactly what Primavenue gives us. We greatly appreciate their unbiased opinions and sharp industry insights and would be delighted to see the company expand into other sectors.

The Buyside on In-depth Company Reserach
Key characteristics of the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry include pressure to stay ahead in the innovation race, long development timelines and a high degree of regulation. The evaluation of the resulting complex value chain requires a lot of experience and analytical skill by the individual analyst. Examples include the assessment of a firm’s intellectual property position, an understanding of clinical trial design as well as reliable forecasts of a product’s commercial potential. We rate Primavenue highly with respect to all of these core competencies.
