J.M. Dutton

J.M. Dutton & Associates was an independent investment research firm that specialized in providing equity analysis for small-cap and micro-cap companies, with a significant focus on the biotechnology and life sciences sectors. The firm was known for its issuer-paid research model, which aimed to provide high-quality, institutional-grade research to companies that were often overlooked by major Wall Street banks. Their reports typically included comprehensive financial analysis, industry overviews, and investment recommendations intended for both institutional and individual investors. Headquartered in El Dorado Hills, California, the firm played a role in the micro-cap ecosystem by increasing the visibility of emerging healthcare and technology firms. The company became inactive following the death of its founder, John M. Dutton, in 2017.
