Research Reports a.k.a Analyst Reports or Investment Banker Reports may focus on a stock or industry as well as financial instruments or geographic regions.  Generally a research report is produced by the investment industry analysts in order to provide guidance to investors. Not all investment reports are public.  The depth and quality of analyst reports vary considerably.
