Analyst Reports are reports on companies written by financial analysts. These reports can provide useful information about a company that might not otherwise be available in articles or other overviews.

Researchers should always keep in mind that because analyst reports represent an analyst's subjective view, it can be tricky to evaluate a report for value, accuracy, and reliability. Understanding any conflicts of interest and unique terminology of the firm providing the report is essential.

The SEC provides an excellent guide to Analyzing Analyst Recommendations on their website.
