I’m an equity analyst and founder of Goulart’s Restaurant Stocks, a research firm focused on the American restaurant industry — from quick service and fast casual to fine dining and specialty concepts. I lead all thematic research and evaluation efforts, applying advanced financial models, sector-specific KPIs and strategic insights to uncover hidden value across public equities. In addition to restaurants, I cover consumer discretionary, food and beverage, casinos and gaming, and IPOs, with a special focus on small and microcap companies that are often overlooked by mainstream analysts. My research has been featured on Seeking Alpha, Yahoo Finance, Mises Institute, Investing.com, and other platforms. My background combines practical experience in finance and business administration with an academic foundation. I hold an MBA in Probation and Forensic Accounting, and a BS in Business Administration. I also pursued specialized training in valuation, financial modeling, and restaurant operations (I had brief experience as an undergraduate student as a franchise partner for a regional ice cream shop).
