Analyst reports (aka broker reports or investment reports) can be valuable resources when researching a publicly-held company. These company reports are written by firms such as Oppenheimer, William Blair, and Gabelli, to provide information for current and potential investors. The bottomline is the buy, hold, or sell recommendation for the stock, along with estimates of future performance. The reports are focused on financial and stock performance but also often include a good discussion of strategic direction and current issues affecting the company. Report length can range from 1-10 pages or more.
To access investment reports through the USF LexisNexis Academic subscription:
From the opening screen, click on the "business" tab at the top; and then "company profiles" on the left. On this search screen, type in the ticker symbol of the company you are researching and under "sources", scroll down and select "Investext Current Reports". You should be returned the two most current reports available for your company.
Analyst reports are also currently available through the Investext Plus database and the Business and Company Resource Center database.
