Laguna Research Partners, founded in 1998 and headquartered in southern California, is a privately-held business intelligence and investment research firm that produces company, industry, and economic research, analysis, and forecasting.  Our objective is to provide our research users and consulting clients with proprietary, actionable insights.

Most of the research, analysis, and projections produced by Laguna Research Partners are prepared for the private use of specific investment, corporate, government, and individual clients.

In the area of publicly-released investment research, LRP remains dedicated to its founding mission... to enable investors to make their own well-informed investment decisions by consistently providing them with proprietary, actionable insights.

• Central to the accomplishment of this founding mission is our firm's dedication to non-recommendation research.

In the view of LRP, most Wall Street stock analysts regard their stock recommendations as their primary value-added.  This is because research is a Wall Street "cost center" that issues stock recommendations in order to support two important "profit centers"... securities trading and investment banking.

LRP has no securities trading desk and no investment banking department, so we have no need to issue stock recommendations.  Instead, the quality of our research is our primary value-added, and we issue publicly-released research that provides our in-depth analysis of the "pluses and minuses" facing the companies, industries, and economies under scrutiny.

Notably, our firm's focus on balanced, high quality research has given our publicly-released research reports a universal appeal that extends far beyond Wall Street.   It has also formed the foundation for our firm's highly successful business intelligence practice [go].

• Also critical to the achievement of our firm's founding mission is the on-going evolution of LRPonline.net, which provides our research users with direct access to value-added research, analysis, and projection sources that we have identified and consolidated for their review.

Reflecting the broad appeal of our publicly-released research reports, LRP's research users now include not only institutional investors, retail brokers, and venture capital investors, but also companies, state and federal government legislators and universities.
