I subscribed to Kalkine's premium research for 6 months to test their ASX stock reports. Here's my unbiased take:

What I liked:
Detailed reports – Their equity analyses include financial metrics, industry comparisons, and risk factors that go deeper than free content.
Regular updates – Received timely alerts on covered stocks (e.g., earnings changes, price target revisions).
Educational value – The "Key Takeaways" section helped me understand their methodology.

Considerations:
• Niche focus – Their small/mid-cap coverage stood out more than large-cap analysis (which you can find elsewhere for free).
• No guarantees – Like all research, some calls performed well while others didn’t – always cross-reference.
• Cost – Worth comparing to alternatives (Morningstar, Simply Wall St) based on your budget.

I tried their premium service for 3 months last year. Honestly, it's a mixed bag - here's the real deal:

The good stuff first:

• Their sector reports are legitimately thorough, especially for mining and banking stocks

• I liked how they break down complex financials into plain English - saved me hours of Googling terms

• The dividend stock coverage was more comprehensive than I expected

But fair warning:

• Their "buy" recommendations didn't always pan out for me (but whose does, right?)

• The mobile app needs work - I ended up mostly using desktop

• It's pricey if you're just starting out
