Connected Car - Thematic Research

Summary

The Connected Car is one of four concurrent disruptive threats that the industry faces alongside the electric vehicle, autonomous driving and the concept of transport-as-a-service. The connected car is a result of the convergence of several ideas to use the evolving technology of network communications, known as the Internet of Things (IoT). The connected car’s role in the IoT is significant, since it brings together five key elements to the driver’s personal space and independent mobility: comfort, convenience, performance, safety and security.

The algorithms in the publisher’s “thematic engine” help to clearly identify the winners and losers within the TMT sector. The publisher's 600 TMT stocks are categorised into 18 sectors. Each sector scorecard has a thematic screen, a risk screen and a valuation screen. The publisher's thematic research ecosystem has a three-tiered reporting structure: single theme, multi-theme and sector scorecard. This report is a Multi-Theme report, covering all stocks, all sectors and all themes, giving readers a strong sense of how everything fits together and how conflicting themes might interact with one another.

This report is part of the ecosystem of thematic investment research reports, supported by the publisher's “thematic engine”.

Scope

To do this, the publisher tracks the performance of the top 600 technology, media and telecom stocks against the 50 most important themes driving their earnings, generating 30,000 thematic scores.
