Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Forrester Research, Inc. is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

Valuation data is not available for this company.

The trajectory is tepid and the balance sheet is stretched. The company scores 4/20 on our value-creation score: not creating value.

Nothing is flagged here: no red or amber gates, no divergence between profits and cash. That is itself information: the numbers are straightforward. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
