Talk:Frost & Sullivan

Frost & Sullivan vanity awards
Apparently this information really hurts somebody because at least six single-purpose accounts/IP-addresses have tried to remove this information: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The information is cited to F&S themselves (licensing fee) and three other sources, one of which is a trade magazine that has spoken to multiple recipients both named and anonymous. Since F&S themselves confirm they require a fee for the recipient to publish the result, and a quick googling turns up hundreds of these awards, some of which are based on a single article written by the recipient, I see no reason to doubt the sources.

Frost & Sullivan sponsored securities analysis scheme
Please reinstate the COI section. Here's an article in Hebrew (Google Translate machine translation) that "ties together" the disparate references to the scheme, the paper, and the opinion that securities research sponsored by the company being researched has an inherent conflict of interests. Some quotes, loosely translated by me:
 * "For Electreon [Frost & Sullivan] set a price target of 25 NIS, the stock went up, [F&S] raised the price target in less than a fiscal quarter four-fold to 101 NIS, the stock went up again and the price jumped to 153 NIS, the stock went up more and the target price jumped to 181 NIS and so on."
 * "If all of this is true, wouldn't a corporation like Frost & Sullivan fear for its reputation? The answer is that it's so clear these "analyses" are bought, meaning funded by the [analyzed] company, that nobody even thinks about looking at their standards of professionalism."
 * "Without intervention from the [securities] authority this will not stop. The management of these companies have an interests to keep this up because it "snares" investors that are unaware of the funding issue. The stock exchange surely will not intervene [because they facilitate the scheme and profit from it - FrostSullivanCOI (talk)] and Frost & Sullivan will keep giving unfounded price targets. The only solution can come from the [securities] authority - the [securities] authority needs to halt this scheme and protect investors once and for all from the dangers it holds."
