Nathan Cook is a markets analyst with more than a decade studying equity cycles from the bottoms up and the top down. He specializes in earnings quality, factor leadership, and the catalysts that shift relative strength across sectors. Readers can expect clear pre-catalyst primers, crisp post-print takeaways, and valuation work that ties cash flow durability to multiple expansion. Nathan’s notes have been cited by investor newsletters and he has appeared on webinars covering seasonality, index rebalances, and the anatomy of earnings surprises. He favors simple models that connect unit economics to margins and price, and he is careful to separate narratives from what the tape is actually discounting. Away from screens he coaches high-school debate, a habit that sharpens his insistence on evidence, structure, and the difference between what sounds good and what holds up.
