I'm doing some research on a F500 publicly traded company...where can I find analyst reports for free?

I need access to a lot of research to find the very specific answers I am seeking. I am really looking for deep, detailed analyses.

TIA

Bloomberg usually has some shite, it depends on the company. If you tell me what it is I'll go look and see what's on there. That's the closest you're getting though, and I seriously doubt you're going to get "deep, detailed analyses." That's how they get paid brah.

Can you pull anything on COF?

An initiation report would be preferred, but anything would do.

I'm carefully combing the 10-K right now...figured that was the best place to start. I have found more than expected.

Brah the SEC filings along with their investor presentations on their websites usually give you what you need, plus try to find the quarterly call transcripts and releases, those are beastmode with the analyst questions and MD&A

The analysts are pivotal for forecasting and industry insight

All I saw were some updates, nothing substantial. Rarely is there much free shite on there that's useful unless you're just looking for estimates and quick one-liner reasonings for upgrade/downgrade. CapIQ has stuff but they cost $$.

Yeah that's pretty much exactly what I do. You can get most of the calls on morningstar now.

FactSet and the excel add-in is my bitch, plus I have 15+ bankers decks on my desks to keep me company, but the call transcripts+release trump them all

Oh for telecom:
1) Evercore
2) Goldman
3) Everbody else

I wasn't talking about the Bloomberg interface, I was talking about the research reports that pop up under CN. FTR Bloomberg tech support is fricking unreal.

I disagree actually. The help help chat function is cool but FactSet owns when it comes to support.

Bloomberg is all about finding a person who is worth a frick.

If you just accept the slum that they send you, you won't ever get shite solved.
