THE ORIGIN

A one-man shop, on purpose.

AAG Research is written and researched entirely by Alberto from Andorra. Every flagship report runs 30–40 pages and takes hundreds of hours of solo work — reading filings, modeling reserves, mapping cost curves, and tracing the historical context of each cycle one company at a time.

The approach is closer to historical research than typical sell-side coverage: treat each idea like a good book, find out why the market has abandoned it, and build conviction grounded in numbers. No screens, no aggregated data, no AI-assisted writing.

INSIDE A REPORT

Hundreds of hours, per idea.

Each flagship deep dive moves through the same patient sequence. No shortcuts, no templates, no recycled theses.
01

Find the unloved corner

Scan for sectors abandoned by the consensus — uranium during a multi-year bear, shipping at scrap-value lows, miners trading below NAV. The crowd has already left.

Small solid orange circle on white background.

No screeners, no aggregated data. Each company is read one by one — annual reports, technical reports, litigation history, management track records.

02

Read every filing by hand

03

Model reserves and cash flows

NPV and DCF built from scratch with explicit upside / downside cases, sensitivity analysis, and margin of safety baked into the price target.

Treat the company like a good book. Why has the market abandoned it? What are the hidden catalysts? Where does the historical cycle suggest we are?

04

Write the narrative

05

Sit on it for years

The hardest part. Embrace volatility, ignore quarterly noise, and let the inflection point arrive. Conviction is what makes the math work.

HOW WE WORK

Three principles. No exceptions.

Manual, old-school research

Filings read line by line. NPV and DCF models built by hand. Sector dynamics, reserves, cost structures, and management quality assessed one company at a time — not pulled from a screener.

Contrarian by default

We work in sectors most analysts ignore: uranium, shipping, mining, special
situations, and small-caps. The edge comes from howing up where the crowd
isn’t, then waiting for the inflection point.

Patience and margin of safety

Theses are built to be held for years, not quarters. Every idea is stress-tested against downside scenarios with explicit margin of safety before it earns a place in a report.

Quality over quantity.

A few honest numbers. No clickbait, no exaggerated claims.
