Plans & Pricing

We believe investing is a game of turning over stones, and our pillars help you do that faster:

• Idea Generation: Provides a daily list of pre-vetted signals from insider, congressional, and institutional trades, plus material press releases, corporate actions, and more.
• Research Library: Access to comprehensive research on U.S.-listed companies, covering valuation, industry dynamics, management incentives, and more.
• AI Agent: Discuss findings with an agent that has access to fundamental and market data across our database to clarify theses, open items, and recent events.

We use Nasdaq Data Link's Sharadar service for market and fundamental data. Learn more about Sharadar.

We use a mix of models depending on the task. Current defaults include:

• Gemini 3.0 Flash
• Gemini 3.0 Pro
• Gemini 2.5 Flash
• Gemini 2.5 Pro
• Mimo-V2-Flash

If Pelican hasn't covered a U.S.-listed ticker you're interested in, you can request it. Our goal is to deliver a private link to the report within 24 hours. We add the idea to the Research Library after one week to respect confidentiality.

The process is resource-intensive due to our comprehensive research workflow, and we're working to improve turnaround over time.

Check out our public library of free content:

• Daily Signals: Today's briefing from the idea generation framework.
• 13F Flows: Latest 13F ideas sourced from institutional filings.
• Research Highlights: Research samples across a limited set of tickers.
• Research Notes: Process write-ups and deep dives.

Yes. Monthly plans can be cancelled anytime. Annual plans offer a 20% discount and have a 30-day refund window.

Pelican sources ideas daily from seven sources:

• Special Situations: Corporate actions like spinoffs, large buybacks, or activism.
• Press Releases: Material contract wins, discoveries, or strategic shifts.
• 13F: Quarterly filings from 50 prominent funds for new holdings and conviction moves.
• Insider Trading: Significant purchases and cluster buying.
• Congressional Trading: Bipartisan activity and unusually large purchases.
• Price Targets: Analyst news with meaningful upside versus consensus.
• Quantitative Screens: Deep value or GARP signals from strict screens.

Each idea is scored out of 10 based on our proprietary framework. For example, insider signals score higher when purchase size is large and when multiple insiders buy together.

As of Fri, 01/30/2026, there are 430 ideas in the Idea Generation database. We add roughly 5-15 ideas every weekday and keep the latest ~1,000 ideas.

Pelican researches companies using AI across five analytical frameworks, depending on the company's archetype: Mature Compounder, Early-Stage Hypergrowth, Turnaround Candidate, Cyclical Operator, and Asset-Based Operator.

We start by gathering data across the business, for example:

• Business Model: Revenue model, segments, products/services, risks.
• Industry: Competition, tailwinds/headwinds, TAM, market share.
• Moat: Competitive advantages.
• Management Team: Capital allocation skill, track record, incentives, governance.
• Sentiment & Flow: Narrative credibility, sell-side conviction, institutional flow.
• And more: Customer and employee reviews, plus additional inputs.

We analyze this data through an archetype-specific lens, then triangulate valuation across multiple methods:

• DCF
• Peer Multiple
• Historical Multiple
• Net Liquidation Value
• Analyst Price Targets

Weightings vary based on archetype and business context. Qualitative analysis influences valuation. For example, the DCF factors in business model strength, transcripts, analyst targets, historicals, and competition. If the moat is shrinking, the terminal multiple may be lower. If management frequently misses guidance, we may haircut projections.

Historical multiples are normalized for the current cycle and earnings power. For example, upstream oil producers can trade at ~2x EBITDA in weak commodity cycles; that anchor may be inappropriate during structurally stronger pricing regimes.

Finally, we publish a recommendation: Buy, Sell, Hold, or Unclear.

As of Fri, 01/30/2026, we cover 153 companies in the Research database. We add roughly 20 companies every weekday.

Most companies in the Research database are sourced from the Idea Generation module. We also cover companies requested by users or identified by the Pelican team.

We provide large volumes of updated qualitative and quantitative data, including financial statements, ratios, multiples, transcripts, annual and quarterly reports, proxy reports, and peer materials.
