Wainwright Economics (H.C. Wainwright & Co. Economics Inc.)
The broker H.C. Wainwright & Co. pioneered top-notch company research beginning in the 1930s. That tradition remains the hallmark of the work produced by its successor, Wainwright Economics, which became independent in 1978. Our expertise has grown along with the sophistication of the markets. There is no finer independent quantitative research to be found in the marketplace today.
