When you ask IROs what targeting means to them, you will get a wide range of answers. At the core, targeting is one of the most essential elements of an effective IR program and IR dedicates a lot of time and resources to it. In addition, IROs often have to educate their management teams on the buy-side’s deliberate and lengthy decision-making process. This reality lends itself to the question IROs often ask: is our targeting program common practice (the way we’ve always done it) or best practice (what the buy-side defines)? Explore how the targeting landscape is changing since investors only have so much bandwidth and are following over 120 companies on a given day.
