The Futurum Group continues to widen its aperture. Today, the company announced that its equities research arm, Futurum Equities, is expanding coverage to include sell-side stock analysis, picks and commentary. For those of us who follow both technology and the markets, this is a significant development.

Until now, Futurum Equities has largely focused on timely market insights and analysis for investors. With this expansion, it will begin providing select stock coverage, price target analysis, and commentary—the kind of content usually reserved for institutional players, now brought to a wider audience.

A Brief History of Futurum Group and Futurum Equities

The Futurum Group has been on a growth tear in 2025, broadening its reach across research, media, and advisory. It has launched new divisions, forged strategic partnerships, and welcomed industry veterans into leadership roles. In Q3, Futurum introduced Futurum Equities, with a mandate to cut through the noise in equities research and deliver clear, timely intelligence to both retail and institutional audiences.

Futurum Equities is led by Chief Market Strategist Shay Boloor, whose “Signal Notes”—daily market briefings distributed to readers and subscribers—have already established themselves as a staple for tech-savvy investors. The move into sell-side analysis is a natural next step, deepening the unit’s coverage and bringing Futurum’s trademark independence and clarity into an area often clouded by bias or institutional gatekeeping.

What Kind of Coverage to Expect

The initial coverage list reads like a who’s who of companies shaping the digital economy. Futurum Equities will publish analysis, commentary, and sell-side targets for an impressive lineup that includes Meta ($META), NVIDIA ($NVDA), AMD ($AMD), Palantir ($PLTR), Broadcom ($AVGO), Alphabet ($GOOGL), Amazon ($AMZN), Intel ($INTC), Microsoft ($MSFT), Micron ($MU), DigitalOcean ($DOCN), Arm ($ARM), IBM ($IBM), Oracle ($ORCL), Marvell ($MRVL) and several others.

Coverage will appear across Signal Notes, special reports, and Futurum’s digital platforms, giving readers multiple entry points to access insights. Futurum has also partnered with Stocktwits, the popular investor social platform, to bring institutional-grade intelligence to more than 3 million retail investors in video, audio, and written formats.

As Boloor put it in the announcement:

“For too long, research has been either noisy or conflicted, built for institutions, not everyday retail investors. Since its inception, Futurum Equities breaks that model. Our sell-side launch is about putting timely, unbiased analysis in front of every investor, so they can be ahead of the Fourth Industrial Revolution instead of reacting after the fact.”

Independence, Transparency, and Trust

In equities research, independence is everything. Futurum has made it clear that Futurum Equities’ sell-side material will remain entirely separate from Futurum Group’s core advisory practice. The company emphasized that its coverage is educational in nature and that all stock-specific commentary will include clear disclosures to ensure transparency and trust.

In fact, Futurum Group has gone out of its way to reiterate its policy that neither the firm nor its analysts hold positions in the companies they cover. This separation is critical, especially in an environment where too many investors question whether “research” is really just a sales tool in disguise.

As Daniel Newman, CEO of Futurum Group, explained:

“This has probably been the most active year in our history when it comes to innovation, industry disruption and growth. I am proud and humbled by the opportunity to set the highest standards in the market for the most accurate research, the most sought-after intelligence and the most captivating user experience in doing so. Investors and mass audiences gain immensely from the timely insights and market analysis, but they seek more as they wish to understand how certain trends can move markets. By expanding into sell-side analysis we’re further empowering followers with the same level of depth, but with an added edge, while maintaining the integrity and independence that define Futurum’s brand.”

Disclaimers That Matter

It’s worth underscoring the disclaimers that come with this new coverage. Futurum Equities is not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer. Its content is provided strictly for informational purposes only and should not be considered investment advice. The announcement explicitly notes that the press release itself is not an offer to buy or sell securities, and readers should always do their own due diligence.

While this may feel boilerplate, I see it as further evidence that Futurum is approaching this move responsibly. They are taking pains to keep analysis educational and independent, not crossing the line into conflicted recommendations.

Shimmy’s Take

So what do I think? As someone who has spent decades covering technology, I love this move. I’m a techie nerd at heart, but like many of you, I also keep one eye on the markets. The intersection of cutting-edge technology and public equities is where some of the most exciting stories play out—whether it’s NVIDIA fueling the AI revolution, or Palantir redefining how data analytics drives defense and government.

With Futurum Equities providing sell-side analysis alongside its broader research and commentary, we now get a richer picture of how the companies driving the digital economy are being valued, challenged, and ultimately judged by the markets.

Exciting times here at Futurum. I, for one, look forward to seeing how this expanded coverage evolves. For retail investors, it means having sharper tools to cut through the noise. For those of us already in the trenches of tech and innovation, it means a new lens on the companies shaping our future.

And for me personally? I’ll be reading every Signal Note—because I know I’ll come away both smarter about the markets and more energized about the technology that drives them.
