The numbers are the easy part.

Every stock tool can show you what a company earned. None of them tell you why it earned it, or whether it will keep earning it.

That is how long a careful investor needs to properly read one company's material. Most people don't have that time, so they buy on the numbers alone.

Numbers first, then the story behind them.

Every report has two parts and the same structure for every company, so you can compare any two businesses page by page.

Questions

How is this different from a stock screener?

Screeners are built for numbers: they filter and chart financial data. Nikasha includes those numbers, then reads the documents behind them and explains the business, its advantages, its management and its risks.

Other tools already sell AI company reports. Why this?

Most sell one report per topic: management credibility in one, risk checks in another, estimates in a third. We put all of it into one consolidated report with one structure, every claim linked to its source, and an analyst review before release.

How do I know it's accurate?

Every figure and claim carries a source: the document, and where possible the page. You can check anything in seconds. Research analysts also review each report before it is released.

Does the report tell me whether to buy?

No. Reports are research summaries of public information. They explain the business and its risks so you can decide for yourself. They contain no buy, sell or hold calls and no price targets.

How fresh is the data?

Reports on companies we cover are updated after every quarterly result. A new company can be requested and is usually delivered within a few days.

Who is it for?

Individual investors who want to understand what they own, and advisers, family offices and small funds who need consistent first-pass research on many companies.

Why we're called Nikasha

A nikasha is a touchstone: the dark stone jewellers have used for centuries to test gold. Rub the metal across it and the streak it leaves shows whether the gold is real. We do the same for companies: we test every claim against the filings, so you can see what's real before you invest.
