Altimetry uses proprietary accounting analytics to cut through market noise and reveal a company’s true financial potential. It gives investors a clearer view of where real value lies.

Altimetry

Altimetry is a boutique financial research and publishing firm dedicated to giving individual investors access to distinctive, unbiased investment insights and analytics. 

Brought to you by the same experts behind Valens Research, we draw on powerful datasets, investment philosophy, and rigorous analytical strategies. 

At the core of our approach is a simple truth: U.S. GAAP accounting rules – the standards public companies must follow – often distort the real economic performance of businesses. This leads investors astray.  

Rather than relying on conventional Wall Street analysis, we rebuild financial statements from the ground up using our proprietary Uniform Adjusted Financial Reporting Standards (UAFRS)… what we call Uniform Accounting. This method uncovers a company’s true economic reality and reveals insights traditional metrics often hide. 

We then pair Uniform Accounting with deep forensic research to identify companies that are mispriced, overlooked, and primed for significant growth – opportunities we highlight for our readers. 

People often ask us why we’re called Altimetry.  Altimetry is the science of measuring things that rise. And in the investment world, what’s better than something that goes up?
