Usually geared at investors, analyst reports can provide very specialized content about company and industry performance. The format can vary according to provider, firm, and source, but they also often provide very useful overviews about the industry and any current events or ongoing issues that play a large role in a company's valuation. The depth and quality of analyst reports vary considerably. Some reports may contain projections as well, but the scope of these varies. Be sure to compare analyst reports whenever possible to provide difference of opinion and to corroborate any observations.
