Independent investment research

Fundamental depth. Systematic scale.

REPY maps the economic exposures of listed companies: revenue mix, end markets, customers, supply chains and geographic footprint. Institutions use our research, models and analytics to understand what drives their portfolios and to build the exposures they intend to hold.

How REPY turns a disclosure into structured exposure: a passage from Corning's annual report is read, the business line, its revenue and its end markets are structured, and Corning's photonics exposure is measured at 40.1% of revenue, a quasi-play member of the theme.
How we work

Built for institutional scrutiny.

01

Depth

We analyse companies at the level of business lines, end markets, customers and suppliers. Exposure is measured from how a company earns its revenue, not inferred from sector codes or keywords.

02

Breadth

Our engine structures company disclosures consistently across markets and years, so the depth we bring to one company extends to every company we cover.

03

Accountability

Every conclusion is reviewed by a researcher, every model is versioned, and every result can be traced to its source and reproduced.

Exposure, not labels.

A keyword screen places all three companies in a photonics portfolio. Our research separates a business that earns 40% of its revenue from optical communications from a customer of the technology, and from an equipment maker that lists it among many applications.

Member

Corning Incorporated GLW

“manufactures carrier network and enterprise network components for the telecommunications industry”

Annual report, Note 18 · 12 February 2026

Its largest segment makes the fibre, cable and connectivity through which networks carry light. The disclosed share places it in the quasi-play tier.

Arista Networks ANET

“We operate as one reportable segment.”

Annual report, Note 9 · 17 February 2026

Arista sells networking switches and software, and reports a single segment with no optical product line. Its own product is not photonic: a company that builds photonic components into a non-photonic product is a customer of the theme, not a member of it.

Teradyne TER

“used to test semiconductors, wireless products, data storage, silicon photonics, and complex electronics systems”

Annual report, business description · 19 February 2026

Silicon photonics is one of five things its test systems are used on. There is no photonics product line, and none of its segments (Semiconductor Test 79%, Product Test 11%, Robotics 10% of revenue) is photonic.
