&esmp; Research reports, commonly referred to as sell-side research reports, are analytical documents prepared by securities company analysts to support investment decision-making. A complete sell-side research report typically synthesizes factual data, research information, and comprehensive analysis of specific securities' value, presenting insights on listed companies, industries, or macroeconomic policies alongside investment ratings for relevant stocks. Research institutes within securities firms serve as critical brand assets. While not directly generating profits, their capabilities significantly influence the development of brokerage, investment banking, and private equity businesses. High-quality research reports attract mutual funds and private equity firms to open trading accounts, thereby driving brokerage revenue.
Research reports can be categorized by research focus into macroeconomic analysis, investment strategies, industry analysis, company research, bond research, futures research, and financial engineering. Among these, company research reports are particularly prominent. These reports, produced by professional financial analysts at securities firms or investment banks, analyze operational and profitability metrics of listed companies to inform investors. Key aspects covered include industry positioning, growth potential, and fundamental analysis (company fundamentals).
