AltaVista Research

AltaVista Research is a complimentary service, and does not require a subscription.

A lot of ETF research focuses primarily on past performance and fees. AltaVista takes a totally different approach by evaluating ETFs based on the fundamentals of each underlying constituent. As a result, we can answer the critical questions most investors would ask before buying a single stock or bond, such as:

• What are expectations for sales and EPS growth, and how are they changing?
• What's happening on the balance sheet?
• How is it valued in relation to these fundamentals?
• What is the yield-to-maturity, credit quality and sensitivity to interest rates?

The benefit of this approach is that it helps investors make better fund selections based on forward-looking measures of investment merit, not just past performance. Our succinct reports cover nearly 1,000 ETFs and are updated daily to help keep investors on top of changing market conditions.

Ranking of events to make sure investors know which events matter most to the market.

Notifications of the release of economic indicators, central bank announcements/minutes, as well as unscheduled market-moving events. Daily and weekly articles broaden the coverage to include market activity generally, such as updates on stocks, bonds, and currencies.

Coverage of events taking place in United States, Australia, Canada, China, Eurozone, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Immediate access to Econoday's archives dating back to 2001, encompassing event data, analysis, along with daily/weekly articles summarizing market activity, that can be used to help assess today's market trends.

Interactive charts provide the time series of the data, and display the consensus and the actual data when the cursor hovers over any date on the chart. Click on any date, and the user may immediately access the report for the indicator written on that date.

Control display options to maximize potential trading opportunities including changing the view of events to daily, weekly, or monthly; changing the timezone to local time; filtering events to highlight a specific country; and a responsive design allowing users to change the size of the calendar to meet their viewing preferences.

To subscribe to Orbisa, log in to Client Portal, toggle to User Settings > select Research Subscriptions > select the Current Research Configuration Icon

Orbisa is a premium market data service offering insights and transparency into the securities lending industry. The Orbisa dataset lets clients evaluate short trades by accessing key securities lending metrics. Investors can access metrics such as Utilization, Shares On Loan and Short Interest Indicators to gauge borrowing demand in a name, which may reflect market sentiment. They can also leverage historical data to view recent trends and compare activity across two tickers.

• Utilization: a measure of supply and demand in the securities lending market. This value measures the on-loan quantity (shares actively borrowed) relative to the inventory quantity (shares available to be borrowed), giving insight into how difficult it may be to locate a security
• Short Interest Indicator: a measure of shares borrowed versus shares publicly available to trade. A high short interest could lead to a potential short squeeze if short sellers look to close out of positions
• On-Loan Quantity: the number of shares actively being borrowed
• On-Loan Value: the value of the shares actively being borrowed. This value will be influenced by the On-Loan Quantity as well as price movements of the security
• Days To Cover: an estimate of how long it would take to cover a short position given recent trading volumes by comparing the on-loan balance to recent trading volumes. The higher this figure, the greater the risk of a potential short squeeze

Users subscribed to Premium Orbisa Securities Lending Analytics also have access to 12 months of historical data to help understand when demand is increasing or decreasing. In addition, they can gain insight by comparing borrowing demand between two stocks.

Booster Shots:

Booster Shots is a great source of ideas for value-oriented investors. The charts presented in this report exemplify selling exhaustion, bottoming patterns, and in some cases, positive inflections.

• Weekly reiteration of Vermillion's top-down investment thesis with updates and a selection of actionable Sector and Group ideas.

Short Shots:

Short Shots is a collection of technically vulnerable charts culled from the "Negative Inflecting" and "Toppy" columns within Vermilion's Weekly Compass Report or, from their various technical screening processes. The charts contained within the report demonstrate concerned technical patterns that suggest further price deterioration is possible. For these reasons Short Shots makes sense as a source for ideas by investors interested in short-selling candidates.

Zacks Investment Research

Zacks Investment Research is a complimentary service, and does not require a subscription.

Zacks Investment Research is a Chicago-based research and money management firm founded in 1978 to provide institutional investors with quantitative models designed to predict stock prices for US companies. The product line has expanded over the years to provide a wide range of investment-related information services and software tools to individual investors.

Zacks stock research methodology represents a blend of quantitative and fundamental research, with analyst-written research reports on approximately 960 stocks and quantitatively-driven one-page Snapshot reports on an additional 2,600 stocks. At the core of our rating system is the Zacks Rank, which reflects estimate revisions momentum and earnings surprises.

A new addition to the Zacks Equity Research Reports is the Zacks Style Score, which provides an additional tool for investors to sort through the large number of Zacks Rank 1 and 2 stocks at any time based on one or more of the Value, Growth and Momentum investment styles. The idea is to help investors pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual stock-picking preferences. The individual A, B, C, D, E or F Style Score for each stock results from a back-tested evaluation process that uses the metrics with the most predictive value for each style. The top-rated stocks combine Zacks Rank of 1 or 2 with Style Scores of A or B.

What’s in an Equity Research Report?

If you're new here, please click here to get my FREE 57-page investment banking recruiting guide - plus, get weekly updates so that you can break into investment banking . Thanks for visiting!

Even though you can easily find real equity research reports via the magical tool known as “Google,” we’ve continued to get questions on this topic.

Whenever I see the same question over and over again, you know what I do: I bash my head in repeatedly and contemplate jumping off a building…

…and then I write an article to answer the question.

To understand an equity research report, you must understand what goes into a  stock pitch first.

The idea is similar, but an ER report is a “watered-down” version of a stock pitch.

But banks have some very solid reasons for publishing equity research reports:

Why Do Equity Research Reports Matter?

You might remember from previous articles that equity research teams do not spend that much time writing these reports .

Most of their time is spent speaking with management teams and institutional investors and sharing their views on sectors and companies.

However, equity research reports are still important because:

• You do still spend some time doing the required modeling work (~15%) and writing the reports (~20%).
• You might have to write a research report as part of the interview process.

For example, if you apply to an equity research role or an equity research internship , especially in an off-cycle process, you might be asked to draft a short report on a company.

And then in roles outside of ER, you need to know how to interpret reports quickly and extract the key information.

Equity Research Reports: Myth vs. Reality

If you want to understand equity research reports, you have to understand first why banks publish them: to earn higher commissions from trading activity.

A bank wants to encourage institutional investors to buy more shares of the companies it covers.

Doing so generates more trading volume and higher commissions for the bank.

This is why you rarely, if ever, see “Sell” ratings, and why “Hold” ratings are far less common than “Buy” ratings.

Different Types of Equity Research Reports

One last point before getting into the tutorial: There are many different types of research reports.

“Initiating Coverage” reports tend to be long – 50-100 pages or more – and have tons of industry research and data.

“Sector Reports” on entire industries are also very long. And there are other types, which you can read about here .

In this tutorial, we’re focusing on the “Company Update” or “Company Note”-type reports, which are the most common ones.

Watered-Down Stock Pitches

You should think of equity research reports as “watered-down stock pitches.”

If you’ve forgotten, a hedge fund or asset management stock pitch ( sample stock pitch here ) has the following components:

• Part 1: Recommendation
• Part 2: Company Background
• Part 3: Investment Thesis
• Part 4: Catalysts
• Part 5: Valuation
• Part 6: Investment Risks and How to Mitigate Them
• Part 7: The Worst-Case Scenario and How to Avoid It

In a stock pitch, you’ll spend most of your time and energy on the Catalysts, Valuation, and Investment Risks because you want to express a VERY different view of the company .

For example, the company’s stock price is $100, but you believe it’s worth only $50 because it’s about to report earnings 80% lower than expectations.

Therefore, you recommend shorting the stock. You also recommend purchasing call options at an exercise price of $125 to limit your losses to 25% if the stock moves in the opposite direction.

In an equity research report, you’ll still express a view of the company that’s different from the consensus, but your view won’t be dramatically different.

You’ll spend more time on the Company Background and Valuation sections, and far less time and space on the Catalysts and Risk Factors. And you won’t even write a Worst-Case Scenario section.

If a company seems overvalued by 50%, a research analyst would probably write a “Hold” recommendation, say that there’s “uncertainty around several customers,” and claim that the company’s current market value is appropriate.

Oh, and by the way, one risk factor is that the company might report lower-than-expected earnings.

The Four Main Differences in Equity Research Reports

The main differences are as follows:

1) There’s More Emphasis on Recent Results and Announcements

For example, how does a recent product announcement, clinical trial result, or earnings report impact the company?

You’ll almost always see recent news and updates on the first page of a research report:

These factors may play a role in hedge fund stock pitches as well, but more so in short recommendations since timing is more important there.

2) Far-Outside-the-Mainstream Views Are Less Common

One comical example of this trend is how all 15 equity research analysts covering Enron rated it a “buy” right before it collapsed :

Sell-side analysts are far less likely to point out that the emperor has no clothes than buy-side analysts.

3) Research Reports Give “Target Prices” Rather Than Target Price Ranges

For example, the company is trading at $50.00 right now, but we expect its price to increase to exactly $75.00 in the next twelve months.

This idea is completely ridiculous because valuation is always about the range of possible outcomes, not a specific outcome.

Despite horrendously low accuracy , this practice continues.

To be fair, many analysts do give target prices in different cases, which is an improvement:

4) The Investment Thesis, Catalysts, and Risk Factors Are “Looser”

These sections tend to be “afterthoughts” in most reports.

For example, the bank might give a few reasons why it expects the company’s share price to rise: the company will capture more market share than expected, it will be able to increase its product prices more rapidly than expected, and a competitor is about to go bankrupt.

However, the sell-side analyst will not tie these factors to specific share-price impacts as a buy-side analyst would.

Similarly, the report might mention catalysts and investment risks, but there won’t be a link to a specific valuation impact from each factor.

So the typical stock pitch logic (“We think there’s a 50% chance of gaining 80% and a 50% chance of losing 20%”) won’t be spelled out explicitly:

Your Sample Equity Research Reports

To illustrate these concepts, I’m sharing two equity research reports from our financial modeling courses :

The first one is from the valuation case study in our Advanced Financial Modeling course , and the second one is from the main case study in our Bank Modeling course .

These are comprehensive examples, backed by industry data and outside research, but if you want a shorter/simpler example you can recreate in a few hours, the Core Financial Modeling course has just that.

In each case, we started by creating traditional HF/AM stock pitches and valuations and then made our views weaker in the research reports.

The Typical Sections of an Equity Research Report

So let’s briefly go through the main sections of these reports, using the two examples above:

Page 1: Update, Rating, Price Target, and Recent Results

The first page of an “Update” report states the bank’s recommendation (Buy, Hold, or Sell, sometimes with slightly different terminology), and gives recent updates on the company.

For example, in both these reports we reference recent earnings results from the companies and expectations for the next fiscal year:

We also give a “target price,” explain where it comes from, and give our estimates for the company’s key financial metrics.

We mention catalysts in both reports, but we don’t link anything to a specific valuation impact.

One problem with providing a specific “target price” is that it must be based on specific multiples and specific assumptions in a DCF or DDM.

So with Jazz, we explain that the $170.00 target is based on 20.7x and 15.3x EV/EBITDA multiples for the comps, and a discount rate of 8.07% and Terminal FCF growth rate of 0.3% in the DCF.

Next: Operations and Financial Summary

Next, you’ll see a section with lots of graphs and charts detailing the company’s financial performance, market share, and important metrics and ratios.

For a pharmaceutical company like Jazz, you might see revenue by product, pricing and # of patients per product per year, and EBITDA margins.

For a commercial bank like Shawbrook, you might see loan growth, interest rates, interest income and net income, and regulatory capital figures such as the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET 1) and Tangible Common Equity (TCE) ratios:

This section of the report explains how the analyst or equity research associate forecast the company’s performance and came up with the numbers used in the valuation.

The valuation section is the one that’s most similar in a research report and a stock pitch.

In both fields, you explain how you arrived at the company’s implied value, which usually involves pasting in a DCF or DDM analysis and comparable companies and transactions.

The methodologies are the same, but the assumptions might differ substantially.

In research, you’re also more likely to point to specific multiples, such as the 75 th percentile EV/EBITDA multiple, and explain why they are the most meaningful ones.

For example, you might argue that since the company’s growth rates and margins exceed the medians of the set, it deserves to be valued at the 75 th percentile multiples rather than the median multiples:

Investment Thesis, Catalysts, and Risks

This section is short, and it is more of an afterthought than anything else.

We do give reasons for why these companies might be mis-priced, but the reasoning isn’t that detailed.

For example, in the Shawbrook report we state that the U.K. mortgage market might slow down and that regulatory changes might reduce the market size and the company’s market share:

Those are legitimate catalysts, but the report doesn’t explain their share-price impact in the same way that a stock pitch would.

Finally, banks present Investment Risks mostly so they can say, “Well, we warned you there were risks and that our recommendation might be wrong.”

By contrast, buy-side analysts present Investment Risks so they can say, “There is a legitimate chance we could lose 50% – let’s hedge against that risk with options or other investments so that our fund does not collapse .”

How These Reports Both Differ from the Corresponding Stock Pitches

The Jazz equity research report corresponds to a “Long” pitch that’s much stronger:

• We estimate its intrinsic value as $180 – $220 / share , up from $170 in the report.
• We estimate the per-share impact of each catalyst: price increases add 15% to the share price, more patients from marketing efforts add 10%, and later-than-expected generics competition adds 15%.
• We also estimate the per-share impact from the risk factors and conclude that in the worst case , the company’s share price might decline from $130 to $75-$80. But in all likelihood, even if we’re wrong, the company is simply valued appropriately at $130.
• And then we explain how to hedge against these risks with put options.

The same differences apply to the Shawbrook research report vs. the stock pitch, but the stock pitch there is a “Short” recommendation where we claim that the company is overvalued by 30-50%.

And that sums up the differences perfectly: A Short recommendation with 30-50% downside in a stock pitch turns into a “Hold” recommendation with roughly equal upside and downside in a sell-side research report.

I’ve been harsh on equity research here, but I don’t want to disparage it too much.

There are many positives: You do get more creativity than in IB, it might be better for hedge fund or asset management exits, and it’s more fun to follow companies than to grind through grunt work on deals.

But no matter how you slice it, most equity research reports are watered-down stock pitches.

So, make sure you understand the “strong stuff” first before you downgrade – even if your long-term goal is equity research.

Hi Brian, what softwares are available to publish Research Reports?

We use Word templates. Some large banks have specialized/custom programs, but not sure how common they are.

Is it possible if you can send me a template in word of an equity report? It will help the graduate stock management fund a lot at Umass Boston.

We only have PDF versions for these, but Word should be able to open any PDF reasonably well.

Do you also provide a pre constructed version of an ER in word?

We have editable examples of equity research reports in Word, but we generally only share PDF versions on this site.

Hey Brian Can you please help me with coverage initiated reports on oil companies. I could not find them on the net. I need to them to get equity research experience, after which only I will be able to get into the field. I searched but reports could not be found even for a price. Thanks

We have an example of an oil & gas stock pitch on this site… do a search…

https://mergersandinquisitions.com/oil-gas-stock-pitch/

Beyond that, sorry, we cannot look for reports and then share them with you or we’d be inundated with requests to do that every day.

No worries. Thanks!

Hi! Brian! Do u know how investment bankers design and layout an equity research? the software they use. like MS Word, Adobe Indesign or something…? And how to create and layout one? Thanks

where can I get free equity research report? I am a Chinese student and now study in Australia. Is the Morning Star a good resource for research report?

Get a TD Ameritrade to access free reports there for certain companies.

How do you view the ER industry since the trading commission has been down 50% since 2007. And there are new in coming regulation governing the ER reports have to explicitly priced and funds need to pay for the report explicity rather than as a service comes free with brokerage?

In addition the whole S&T environment is becoming highly automated.

People have been predicting the death of equity research for over a decade, but it’s still here. It may not be around in 100 years, but it will still be around in another 10 years, though it will be smaller and less relevant.

Yes, things are becoming more automated, but the actual job of an equity research analyst or associate hasn’t changed dramatically. A machine can’t speak with investors to assess their sentiment on a company – only humans can do that.

In addition, corporate strategy professionals are increasingly turning to broker research to analyze market landscapes and better understand analyst assessments of market and industry trends, as well as performance of competitive peers.

However, manually finding broker reports and extracting the insights they contain requires significant time and effort—think multiple search engine queries and hours of combing through countless documents to identify important information.

Unlock Market Moving Insights Faster with AI & Automation

When you rely on an equity research platform that utilizes the power of AI search technology, you can be more confident in your research, knowing you are no longer at the mercy of human error. AlphaSense also allows you to automate certain research processes that previously would have required hours of manual work, streamlining your entire process so you can take action and make mission-critical decisions faster than ever. 

Here’s how our semantic search and smart automations can transform your workflow:

Smart Search

Smart Search technology doesn’t just recognize the keywords included in your query—it understands the intent behind your search, delivering content sources with the highest relevance and value to your search. It allows you to find all relevant data points with a single search, saving countless hours and increasing precision in your research.

Additionally, broker research is often inconsistently tagged because different firms may use different classification taxonomies, or include their own terms to define industries and trends. In addition to recognizing relevant language patterns, Smart Search assigns correct tagging to reports from thousands of analysts and research firms, regardless of which analyst published the report.

Smart Synonyms , our proprietary element of Smart Search, weeds out the sources that may include similar keywords but are not topically significant to your research, meaning you’ll never have to cut through excess noise to find the insights you need.

Relevance Rankings

AlphaSense automatically ranks results by their relevance to your research using a number of algorithmic factors, including search term proximity, Smart Synonyms, and document decay. You can be confident that the content sources at the top of your search results page are the ones most aligned with your current research needs.

Smart Alerts

Without a centralized search system, analysts are left to perform multiple manual searches and parse through Google Alerts for the ones with real relevance. On the AlphaSense platform, real-time alerts are customizable and can be set up for a particular company, industry, keyword, or topic (or a set/list of any of the above).

Customized alerts and watchlists give analysts real-time notifications about important news and updates while also ensuring they aren’t bogged down with alerts that are not in tune with what they really need (i.e. Google Alerts and other public search engine options).

Generative AI

AlphaSense’s generative AI is purpose-built for business professionals, leaning on 10+ years of AI tech development. Our proprietary genAI tool, Smart Summaries , generates insights across all four key perspectives—company documents, news, expert calls, and broker research. 

Sourced from across all broker research you are entitled to, published within the past 90 days, and covers sections including: 

• Upgrades and downgrades – Covers which brokers have upgraded/downgraded this company within the past 90 days and why 
• SWOT analysis – Covers the topics/trends identified as strengths/opportunities or threats/weaknesses from across broker reports about this company
• Competitive landscape – Covers the competitive landscape for this company from across broker reports

The Missing Perspective

Here at AlphaSense, we talk about market research in terms of the four perspectives . For every market-moving event, what are the perspectives of companies, news outlets, industry experts, and analysts on the topic? 

Historically, the latter has been the most challenging to access because companies needed to have existing relationships with specific brokerage or investment banking firms to get those insights. But with AlphaSense, you get easy access to multiple firms’ equity research, which allows you to take your research and strategic decision-making to the next level. 

Broker research reports have always been used by investors and hedge fund managers to come up with lucrative investment ideas and make smarter investment decisions. Now it is commonplace for cutting-edge corporations to utilize analyst perspectives in order to quickly get smart on market landscapes and understand analysts’ expectations on market trends, industry, and peer performance.

Here are just a few of the ways AlphaSense users rely on broker research to navigate ever-evolving market conditions and stay in the know about important trends:

Forecasting for the Future

In the interconnected world we live in today, economic, socio-political, and natural events that occur continents away can impact the success of your business. You need to know what market experts are saying about what’s happening in the world.

One of the biggest developments from the COVID-19 pandemic was the rise of virtual healthcare, or telemedicine. Using AlphaSense, our users were able to monitor rising mentions of the topic across all four perspectives, but it was specifically broker research that proved to be the most abundant source of information in the platform discussing the future of telemedicine, with analysts unanimously agreeing that healthcare systems will have no choice but to adopt telemedicine into their practices going forward.

Using broker research and our platform, we can forecast the trends and outlooks in the healthcare tech space for the future , based on current trends and analysis in areas like AI, medical robotics, and digital therapeutics

Following the Evolution of a Market Trend

ESG has been a dominant force in the investment world over the past several years. It was a trend that arrived forcefully and showed no signs of slowing down in importance to investors and consumers alike—until it did. 

Using AlphaSense, we were able to track the trajectory of the ESG movement—from its meteoric rise to the forefront of corporate discourse to its suddenly uncertain future as public scrutiny and distrust continue to build . 

Armed with the four perspectives, AlphaSense users were able to follow changing ESG dynamics and clearly understand the trend’s evolution, including shifting public and company sentiment and expectations. Broker research, in particular, was critical for staying ahead of these shifts. It not only informed users on all relevant information early on, but also gave interpretations and expert analyses of this information, allowing them to manage risk, capitalize on new opportunities, and gain a competitive edge. 

Peer Analysis

Peer analysis is critical for organizations to achieve and maintain dominance in their respective fields. This means accurately identifying and interpreting industry trends, opportunities, and threats, so you can respond quickly and effectively. AlphaSense helps you stay informed on your peers with customizable watch lists and alerts that notify you whenever a new investment research piece is published featuring one of the companies in your industry. 

When analyzing competitors, it is also important to understand what growth areas those companies are anticipating. By benchmarking competitors’ R&D investments , you can gain valuable insight into companies’ strategies and use that knowledge for your own strategic decision-making.  

Broker research provides instant access to sales revenue forecasts for specific products, as well as R&D percentage of sales for specific companies, and you can find every relevant equity research piece quickly and easily in AlphaSense.

Groundbreaking Insights from Industry Experts

Monitoring macro trends and conditions is essential for smart investing and apt decision making for any company. The broker research on AlphaSense provides consistent expert insight and direct commentary on economic trends, opportunities, and challenges, so that you can avoid being caught off guard by an unexpected market-shifting event. 

When the popular stationary bike company, Peloton Interactive, first announced its decision to partner with industry giant Amazon, many were blindsided. But those who were relying on the four perspectives available through AlphaSense were able to spot the telling signs and key milestones that led up to this deal . 

In particular, broker research in the AlphaSense platform showed that this decision was not unexpected at all, but rather played into Peloton’s overall strategy to recoup lost capital by spending less on digital advertising and relying instead on Amazon’s massive customer base.

Broker Research (aka Equity or Sell-Side Research) involves reports, models, and estimates on companies, industries, fixed income, currencies and commodities, strategy, and economics.  Broker reports are reports developed by sell-side firms for consumption by investors, fund managers, and corporate professionals to better understand market dynamics and make smarter business and investment decisions.

You can subscribe to have access to a specific broker’s research content, and/or you can often purchase individual reports or documents you want to access. With a platform solution like AlphaSense, however, you can bypass individual subscriptions and paywalls to access research in a single, centralized place.

The “best” brokerage report depends on your specific needs and research goals. Top brokers in the research field include JP Morgan, Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, Barclays, and HSBC (among others) — all accessible on the AlphaSense Platform.

Check that the broker is registered with the SEC . You can also use FINRA’s BrokerCheck Database to research broker track records and credentials in-depth.

AlphaSense’s premium research database (including exclusive Wall Street Insights® ) offers comprehensive data combined with in-depth capital market expertise. 

Coupled with advanced AI-powered semantic search capabilities, analysts and researchers are able to access information faster, analyze market sentiment across multiple sources, and pinpoint the exact insights they need to inform decisions.

When you’re on the AlphaSense platform, you can say goodbye to individual subscription expenses, the need for manual, time-consuming research, and a reliance on outdated search methods (like CTRL-F) to find important insights.

AlphaSense provides access to many types of broker reports — industry analyses, flash reports, commodities reports, company analyses and more — from top names in the research field, including: 

• Morningstar
• Deutsche Bank

Drawbacks Of Equity Research Report

What is an equity research report.

An equity research report is a thorough analysis of a company's stock or securities written by research teams or financial analysts. It offers insights and detailed information about the stock.

Investors, fund managers, and other financial professionals use these reports, which are usually generated by brokerage firms, investment banks, or independent research organizations, to help them make well-informed investment decisions.

The main goal of equities research reports is to provide investors and hedge fund managers with market information and investment suggestions. However, forward-thinking companies also understand how important this information is when making strategic choices for their own operations.

Equity research analysts are usually highly skilled individuals with knowledge of many industries. Their credentials as seasoned industry executives, professors, or previous CEOs typically enable them to offer authoritative viewpoints and in-depth analyses of firms, industries, and macroeconomic trends.

Sell-side firms produce equity research reports covering thousands of publicly traded businesses. Bigger firms, such as Morgan Stanley and Bank of America , have hundreds of analysts who cover different industries and offer in-depth analyses of various businesses.

Because they provide in-depth information about the company, its rivals, and its performance in relation to the market, equity research reports are beneficial for businesses.

By using this information, businesses may maintain their competitiveness and make well-informed decisions that support their strategic goals.

Key Takeaways

• Equity research reports provide detailed analysis and insights into stocks or securities, aiding investors, fund managers, and businesses in making informed decisions.
• Reports vary in format, covering company-specific, sector, thematic, geographic, event-driven, quantitative, technical analysis, and economic/market outlook perspectives.
• Typical sections of the report include recent results, upgrades/downgrades, management commentary, industry overview, financial history, valuation, recommendations, and more.
• Reports serve various purposes, including investment decisions, portfolio management, valuation, strategic decision-making, regulatory compliance, investor relations, and education.

Understanding the Equity Research report

A document made by an equity research analyst gives suggestions on how an investor should act upon a company that is being traded. This could include holding the share, selling it, or purchasing it.

An analyst outlines their recommendation, target price, investment thesis , value, and risks in an equities research report.

The format of equity research reports might vary based on the objective, target audience, and level of analysis. These are a few typical formats:

1. Company-specific Reports

These reports analyze stocks of specific firms. They usually include detailed financial analyses, valuation indicators, investment suggestions, and perceptions of company-specific elements, including management caliber, competitive positioning, and growth potential.

2. Sector Reports

Sector reports offer insights and analysis on certain economic sectors or entire industries. They look at possibilities, problems, and trends in a particular industry as well as the state of play and future prospects of major players in that field.

Sector reports may address more general market trends impacting the sector and frequently compare various companies within the industry.

3. Thematic Reports

These types of reports center on particular investment topics or trends that are anticipated to influence the market's performance. They examine how various industries and businesses are impacted by themes like developing technologies, demographic shifts, and regulatory changes.

Based on the themes found, thematic reports frequently offer investment advice.

4. Geographic Reports

These reports examine businesses or sectors operating in a particular market or geographic area. These papers offer insights into local economic situations, legal frameworks, and cultural aspects that can influence investment prospects, with an emphasis on global, regional, or national markets.

5. Event-driven Reports

These types of reports concentrate on particular occurrences or triggers, including earnings releases, mergers and acquisitions , court rulings, or new product introductions, that may affect a company's stock price.

After analyzing the event's possible effects on the company's financial performance , these reports offer investment recommendations based on the anticipated outcome.

6. Quantitative Reports

Quantitative reports employ quantitative research techniques, including statistical modeling and data analysis, to find investment possibilities or market trends. To bolster their analysis, these reports could contain quantitative measures, graphs, and charts.

Quantitative Reports are frequently appealing to investors who want to make decisions based on data.

7. Technical Analysis Reports

The primary goal of technical analysis reports is to find patterns and trends in stock prices by examining historical price and volume data. These reports forecast future market movements and trading opportunities using charting techniques and technical indicators.

Traders and investors who incorporate technical analysis into their investment plans could find technical analysis reports interesting.

8. Economic and Market Outlook Reports

These papers analyze and project macroeconomic variables, market patterns, and geopolitical developments that may affect the stock market as a whole. They might provide information on GDP growth, interest rates, inflation, and other economic variables that influence investment choices.

Contents of an Equity Research Report

An equity research report typically includes in-depth industry research, management analysis, financial history, trends, projections, valuations, and investor recommendations.

This kind of report, also known as broker research or investment research report, is intended to offer a thorough overview that investors or business executives may use to make informed judgments.

Here is a summary of what a typical report includes:

1. News & announcements of recent results

This section offers information on recent outcomes, including quarterly earnings, predictions, and general business updates, to help investors stay current on the company's performance.

2. Upgrades/Downgrades

Upgrades and downgrades are modifications to an analyst's forecast for the price of a specific stock. These revisions are often prompted by qualitative and quantitative studies that affect the security's financial valuation, either positively or negatively.

3. Revisions to the Estimate/Price Target

Estimates are detailed forecasts of how much a firm will make over the next few years. Price targets are derived from valuations of those earnings predictions.

The price target is based on fundamentals and future supply and demand forecasts for the asset.

4. A summary of Management & Commentary

Potential investors might read the Management Overview and Commentary to learn more about the caliber and makeup of a company's management team.

This section can also include a history of the company's leadership, including its track record with capital allocation, ESG , remuneration, incentives, and stock ownership, as well as a description of the firm's directors.

5. Industry Overview

This section discusses the firm's sector, rivals, and industry developments. In addition, industry research covers politics, economics , social trends, technical innovation, and more.

6. Financial Result History

Historical Financial Results often include a company's stock history and projections based on the present market and external factors.

Analysts must thoroughly comprehend the history of a certain sector and look for patterns or trends to support their recommendations. They must also judge whether a firm is performing at or above market expectations.

7. Valuation

A market analyst will perform stock valuation models using information such as previous financial data and market analysis. Analysts may use more than one valuation model to calculate the value of a company's shares or assets.

Absolute valuation models determine a business or asset's intrinsic worth. Relative equity valuation methods determine how much one firm or asset is worth in relation to another. Price/sales, Price/earnings, and Price/ cash flow are the foundations for relative values.

8. Recommendations

 A buy, hold, or sell recommendation made by a stock research analyst. The analyst will also provide investors with a target price that indicates where they anticipate the stock to be in a year.

Uses of Equity Research Report

Equity research reports have several significant uses for different financial market participants:

1. Making Investment Decisions

Investors rely on equities research reports to make well-informed choices regarding purchasing, disposing of, or retaining stocks. These reports offer insightful analysis and useful information about the risks, growth potential, valuation, and financial performance of certain businesses, sectors, or market trends.

2. Portfolio Management

To create and oversee investment portfolios, portfolio managers consult equities research reports.

These reports help them diversify their portfolios across various sectors and industries, find appealing investment possibilities, and adjust their holdings in response to shifting market conditions and investing goals.

Equity research reports help investors assess the risks associated with potential investments. Analysts analyze various factors, including financial metrics, industry dynamics, competitive positioning, and macroeconomic trends, to identify potential risks and uncertainties that may impact a company's future performance and stock price.

3. Valuation

Equity research reports provide insights into the valuation of individual stocks or entire sectors.

Analysts use various valuation methodologies, such as discounted cash flow ( DCF ), comparable company analysis (CCA), and precedent transactions analysis (PTA), to estimate a company's intrinsic value and assess its potential upside or downside.

4. Strategic Decision Making

Corporate executives and management teams consult equity research reports to learn about their own businesses, industry competitors, and market trends.

They may make strategic decisions about business operations, capital allocation, and growth plans with the aid of these reports, which also help them comprehend investor perceptions and pinpoint areas for improvement.

5. Regulatory Compliance

Regulations, including those set down by stock exchanges and securities regulators, apply to equity research reports.

Analysts must follow disclosure standards, transparency rules, and conflict-of-interest policies when writing and disseminating research findings to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and preserve market integrity.

6. Investor Relations

These reports are a common tool used by businesses in their investor relations campaigns to reach out to analysts, shareholders, and prospective investors.

They cover the company's business strategy, financial performance, growth prospects, and strategic goals in great detail, which contributes to investor confidence and capital attraction.

7. Educational Purposes

They are used for educational purposes by professionals, investors, and students who want to learn about investment analysis, financial markets , and market trends.

They assist people in improving their knowledge and abilities in the subject of finance by offering practical examples of market research procedures, valuation approaches, and financial analysis tools.

Even though equities research reports offer investors insightful information and analysis, it's crucial to take into account their limitations and potential downsides before utilizing them to guide your investing decisions.

To ensure a comprehensive grasp of potential investments, investors should complement stock research with their own due diligence and analysis .

Some disadvantages of the report are:

• Conflicts of Interest and Biases: Analysts may have conflicts of interest or biases, which could influence their recommendations.
• Restricted Coverage: Reports may only cover a few companies or industries, which leaves room for analysis gaps.
• Complexity: Some investors may find it difficult to comprehend complex financial concepts and technical language.
• Possible Inaccuracies: Reports can contain mistakes or erroneous assumptions that result in suggestions that are not correct.
• Problems with timeliness: Reports might not always accurately depict the state of the market or recent advancements.
• Focus on the Short Term: Prioritising performance measures over long-term principles could have unintended consequences.
• Regulatory Risks: The creation and distribution of research reports may be impacted by compliance standards and regulatory modifications.

Equity research reports are a mainstay in financial analysis, providing a plethora of data and analysis to inform investment and strategic decisions. With their thorough insights into organizations, industries, and market trends, these reports are a reliable resource for fund managers, investors, and enterprises alike.

Despite their indisputable importance, equity research reports must recognize their inherent limitations. Conflicts of interest, a lack of coverage, and the intrinsic complexity of financial analysis may introduce biases and errors.

Furthermore, due to the constantly changing regulatory environment and market conditions, reports might not always include the most recent data.

Equity research reports are still a valuable resource if used carefully and in concert with independent analysis. They promote a greater comprehension of financial markets, help strategic planning , and enable well-informed decision-making.

However, equity research reports—despite their flaws—remain indispensable for navigating the complexities of the investing landscape and enabling stakeholders to make wise and informed decisions.

Here’s How to Write an Equity Research Report: The Best Guide

October 17, 2016

Equity Research is a rewarding career.

To keep up, you need a strong foundation with the judgment to think critically, act independently, and be relentlessly analytical.

That’s why I wrote this guide — to empower you with the equity research(ER) report writing skills to stay ahead in the equity research career.

There is almost NO guide available that teaches you how to write an equity research report.

From textbooks to online video tutorials, you can check and let me know if you find one.

And, I felt that I should write a detailed and step-by-step guide— a guide that really starts at the beginning to equip already-intelligent analysts with a healthy balance of conceptual and practical advice.

The Advanced Guide to Equity Research Report Writing takes your writing to the next level.

Who Is This Guide for?

I wrote this guide for an audience of equity research analysts , investment banking professionals, industry analysts, market research professionals, business management students, and freelance writers.

Most of all, I want you to walk away from this guide feeling confident about your equity report writing skill.

What Is an Equity Research Report

This chapter explains what exactly an ER report is.

The questions like—Who makes it? Who reads and uses it? What are the different types of equity research reports?—are answered clearly and elaborately.

It briefly talks about the various key contents of an ER report.

And lastly, it explains the need to provide a disclaimer at the end of an ER report.

So before understanding how to write an ER report, let’s try to understand what exactly an equity ER is.

FINRA , the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, defines an equity research report, in Rule 2711 (a)(8) as,

 “A written or electronic communication that includes an analysis of equity securities of individual companies or industries , and that provides information reasonably sufficient upon which to base an investment decision.

Readers of Equity Research, more so than anything else, identify trends that make investment decisions easier to justify.

In simpler words, equity research is a document written and published by a brokerage house or securities firm for its clients to help them to make better decisions regarding which stocks to choose for profitable investment.

The report should be such that it should convince the client to make a decision.

The report should be crisp; the point of view should be clearly structured and articulated concisely.

In the investment industry, equity reports usually refer to ‘sell-side’ research, or investment research created by brokerage houses.

Such research is circulated to the corporate and retail clients of the brokerage house that publishes it.

Research produced by the ‘buy-side’, which includes mutual funds, pension funds, and portfolio managers, is usually for internal use and is not distributed to outside parties.

a. Different types of equity reports

In the above paragraph, we saw terms such as ‘sell-side’ and ‘buy-side’.

Let’s quickly understand what these terms mean:

There are two main types of equity research reports:

i. Sell-Side reports

Sell-side reports are the most common type of equity research reports in circulation.

They are normally produced by investment banks , typically for their clients to guide their investment decisions.

A sell-side analyst works for a brokerage firm or bank which manages individual clients and makes investment recommendations to them.

Sell-side analysts issue the often-heard recommendations of “buy”, “hold”, “neutral”, or “sell”.

These recommendations help clients make decisions to buy or sell stocks.

This is favourable for the brokerage firm as each time a client takes a decision to trade; the brokerage firm gets a commission on the transactions.

Click here to see some examples of sell-side reports

ii. Buy-Side reports

The ‘buy-side’ reports are internal reports, produced for the bank itself, and are guided by differing perspectives and motivations.

A buy-side analyst generally works for a mutual fund or a pension fund company.

They perform research and make recommendations to the money managers of the fund that hires them.

Buy-side analysts will verify how promising an investment seems and how well it fits with the fund’s investment strategy.

These recommendations are made exclusively for the benefit of the fund that employs them and is not available to anyone outside the fund.

Within the buy/sell group, there are other types of reports like initiating coverage reports, standard reports, Issue reports, Investor notes, and sector reports.

iii. Initiating coverage reports

The initiating coverage reports are conducted on firms that the bank has begun following and are typically more comprehensive in nature.

Initiating coverage reports analyze a company’s historical financial information, order books, efficiency, SWOT, cash-flows, and future earning potential, basis which it estimates the future earnings of the company and its P/E multiples.

Click here to see some examples of initiating coverage reports

iv. Standard reports

After an initiating report is produced standard reports will follow for as long as the brokerage house continues to track the stock.

Stocks that are tracked are typically part of an index like the SENSEX or are amongst the top stocks in an industry as these are the stocks that investors care about and are traded in larger volumes.

v. Issue reports

These reports are issued when generally companies announce earnings each quarter (Quarterly earnings reports).

vi. Investor notes

These reports are published a few times in between for incremental information and news.

For example – investor conference companies hold a big M&A deal or a major new product announcement from a competitor.

These are usually short-run updates and are typically just quantitative in nature.

vii. Sector reports

A sector report is a document that evaluates a given industry and the companies involved in it.

It is often included as part of a business plan and typically seeks to establish how one company can gain an advantage in industry through detailed research on competition, products, and customers.

Click here to download the sector report

b. Contents of an equity research report

Now that we have understood the different types of equity research reports, let’s try to see the contents of an ER report.

An ER report should not be more than 10 to 15 pages long and should be very crisp and concise.

It should give the reader a clear understanding of the opinion of the analyst writing the report.

An ER report typically has the following contents:

1. Analyst opinion and summary

2. Key highlights of the company

3. A snapshot of the industry

4. Financial ratio analysis

5. Financial Modeling and Valuation analysis

6. Risk factors

7. Disclosure and rationale of rating

Usually, most of the equity research reports have this information; however, there is no hard and fast rule in which an ER report should be written.

We will study in detail (with examples) how to write each of these segments of an ER report in the forthcoming chapters.

c. Importance of Disclaimers in Analyst Reports

As every ER report is an investment document, and investors use it to make decisions for buying or selling securities based on it, it is important for the report to have certain disclaimers to show un-biases of the analyst writing the report.

Some typical disclaimers are as follows:

• Every ER report entirely reflects views and personal opinions of the analyst as on the date of publication
• The equity research analyst does not have an interest in the shares of the company
• Compensation of the analyst is not linked directly to any specific research recommendations contained in the report

Financial Analysts or equity research analysts working in brokerage firms or sell-side analysts write equity research reports.

Equity research report writing process

Equity Research Report writing

After completing the fundamental analysis, financial statement analysis, ratio analysis, and valuation, the last part of the equity research process is writing equity research reports.

As an equity research analyst, you need to analyze the industry and the company first and then write the stock research report.

This step is paramount in your equity research analysis career .

This is important to write the equity research reports in such a way that your clients understand every word of it.

It’s also important to include relevant analysis that you’ve done in the report.

How to write a report

Let’s see each step of writing an equity research report in detail.

1. Company fundamental analysis

a) Macroeconomic Analysis

b) Checking public information of the company

c) Discussion/ interviews with company management

d) Prepare a 5-year cash flow model and earnings forecast model

e) Review your operational and financial assumptions

f) Assess management and competitive environment, buyers, suppliers, substitutes, porter 5-forces model that tells you the competitive advantage of the company.

2. Company valuation analysis

1. Use intrinsic valuation—Discounted Cash Flow(DCF) method

2. Relative valuation

3. sum-of-the-parts valuation method, wherever required.

Pointers for writing equity research reports

I’ve created a list of pointers purely based on my experience and observations and a bit of research about dos and don’ts while writing an equity research report.

1. A clear view of the company

Before writing the report, have a clear view of the company in terms of—Investment rationale, risk assessment, key growth drivers, cost drivers, and revenue drivers.

2. Recommendation/Rating

Clearly write the company’s name at the top of the report and mention your recommendation—buy, sell, hold.

You can also use the words—outperform, underperform, neutral or accumulate based on your valuation.

Have an image of an equity research report in your mind, and so you won’t miss these details.

Usually, there are templates available in your company and you need to write the report using these templates.

3. Target price

You need to mention the target price based on your valuation along with the recommendation.

4. Investment rationale

Write clearly your investment rationale. Why do you think the share price will go up/down?

5. Share price chart

Include a price chart of the stock that will show the last 52-weeks’ share price movement.

6.Business model

Mention the analysis of the company’s business model and how will it perform in the next 2-3 years.

7. Key ratio analysis

Include important ratio analysis of the company and 52-week high-low share price on a stock exchange.

Include market capitalization, Enterprise Value(EV), Earnings Before Interest Tax and Depreciation (EBITDA), EV/EBITDA, and dividend yield (%)

8. Product profile and segments

Analyze the company’s product profile, its various segments, and brands. Include current sales and forecasted revenue figures, cost, market size, company’s market share, competition, the company’s performance in domestic and other markets.

9. Economy-Industry-Company (E-I-C) Analysis

Cover the company’s fundamental analysis with supportive data.

10. Intrinsic and relative valuation

Perform DCF analysis and relative valuation. Relative valuation should be done with the company’s peers on the basis of Price-Earnings ratio (P/E), Price to Book ratio (P/B), Price to Sales (P/S), Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE).

11. Reasoning for recommendation

Write proper reasoning for your recommendation. For example—Why buy the stock or why not to buy the stock. So, your reasoning has to be strong.

12. Unlock the value

Write what can unlock/increase/reduce the value of the company .

13. Legal matters

If the company is battling any case, write what could be its effects on the stock price.

14. Common industry points

While writing industry reports, write the points which are common for all players in the industry, for example, regulatory limitation, excise duty, oil prices, etc.

15. Covering all the areas in an equity research report

While writing the equity research report, assume that the reader is new to the company and he doesn’t have any idea about its business.

So, your report should include precise information about—product, financials, management, market, future plans of the company, growth estimates, and the risk factors of the company.

In short, as an equity research analyst, your equity analysis report writing process should be structured and you should follow the dos and don’ts mentioned in this post.

How to Write an Equity Research Report

By Brian Dzingai |

 Reviewed By Rebecca Baldridge |

November 15, 2022

What is an Equity Research Report?

An equity research report may focus on a specific stock or industry sector, currency, commodity, or fixed-income instrument, or even on a geographic region or country, and generally make buy or sell recommendations. These reports are produced by a variety of sources, ranging from market research firms to in-house research departments at large financial institutions or boutique investment banks.

Key Learning Points

• An equity research report is a document prepared by an analyst that provides a recommendation to buy, hold, or sell shares of a public company. 
• An equity research report is a document prepared by an analyst who is part of an investment research team in a brokerage firm or investment bank
• It provides an overview of the business, the industry it operates in, the management team, the company’s financial performance, and risks, and includes a target price and investment recommendation.
• It is intended to help an investor decide whether to invest in a stock.

Equity Research Report Structure

An equity research report can include varying levels of detail, and although there is no industry standard when it comes to formatting, there are common elements to all equity research reports. This guide includes some fundamental features and information that should be considered essential to any research report, as well as some tips for making your analysis and report as effective as possible. 

Access the download to see a real-world example of an Equity Research Report, annotated to show each element discussed below. 

Basic Information

The research report should begin with basic information about the firm, including the company’s ticker symbol, the primary exchange where its shares are traded, the primary sector and industry in which it operates, the current stock price and market capitalization, the target stock price, and the investment recommendation. 

In addition, a security’s liquidity and float are important considerations for the equity analyst. The liquidity of a stock refers to the degree to which it can be purchased and sold without affecting the price. The analyst should understand that periods of financial stress can affect liquidity. A stock’s float refers to the number of shares that are publicly owned and available for trading and generally excludes restricted shares and insider holdings. The float of a stock can be significantly smaller than its market capitalization and thus is an important consideration for large institutional investors, especially when it comes to investing in companies with smaller market capitalizations. Consequently, a relatively small float deserves mention. Finally, it is good practice to identify the major shareholders of a firm. 

Business Description 

This section should include a detailed description of the company and its products and services. It should convey a clear understanding of the company’s economics, including a discussion of the key drivers of revenues and expenses. Much of this information can be sourced from the company itself and from its regulatory filings as well as from industry publications. 

Industry Overview and Competitive Positioning

This section should include an overview of the industry dynamics, including a competitive analysis of the industry. Most firms’ annual reports include some discussion of the competitive environment. A group of peer companies should be developed for competitive analysis. The “Porter’s Five Forces” framework for industry analysis is an effective tool for examining the health and competitive intensity of an industry. Production capacity levels, pricing, distribution, and stability of market share are also important considerations. 

It is important to note that there are different paths to success. Strength of brand, cost leadership, and access to protected technology or resources are just some of the ways in which companies set themselves apart from the competition. Famed investor Warren Buffett describes a firm’s competitive advantage as an economic “moat.” He says, “In business, I look for economic castles protected by unbreachable moats.” 

Investment Summary

This section should include a brief description of the company, significant recent developments, an earnings forecast, a valuation summary, and the recommended investment action. If the purchase or sale of a security is being advised, there should be a clear and concise explanation as to why the security is deemed to be mispriced. That is, what is the market currently not properly discounting in the stock’s price, and what will prompt the market to re-price the security? 

This section should include a thorough valuation of the company using conventional valuation metrics and formulas. Equity valuation models can derive either absolute or relative values. Absolute valuation models derive an asset’s intrinsic value and generally take the form of discounted cash flow models. Relative equity valuation models estimate a stock’s value relative to another stock and can be based on a number of different metrics, including price/sales, price/earnings, price/cash flow, and price/book value. Because model outputs can vary, more than one valuation model should be used. 

Financial Analysis

This section should include a detailed analysis of the company’s historical financial performance and a forecast of future performance. Financial results are commonly manipulated to portray firms in the most favorable light. It is the responsibility of the analyst to understand the underlying financial reality. Accordingly, a careful reading of the footnotes of a company’s financial disclosures is an essential part of any examination of earnings quality. Non-recurring events, the use of off-balance-sheet financing, income and reserve recognition, and depreciation policies are all examples of items that can distort a firm’s financial results. 

Financial modeling of future results helps to measure the effects of changes in certain inputs on the various financial statements. Analysts should be especially careful, however, about extrapolating past trends into the future. This is especially important in the case of cyclical firms. Projecting forward from the top or bottom of a business cycle is a common mistake. 

Finally, it can be informative to use industry-specific financial ratios as part of the financial analysis. Examples include proven reserves/shares for oil companies, revenue/subscribers for cable or wireless companies, and revenue/available rooms for the hotel industry. 

Investment Risks

This section should address potential negative industry and company developments that could pose a risk to the investment thesis. Risks can be operational or financial or related to regulatory issues or legal proceedings. 

Although companies are generally obligated to discuss risks in their regulatory disclosures, risks are often subjective and hard to quantify (e.g., the threat of a competing technology). It is the job of the analyst to make these determinations. Of course, disclosures of “qualified opinions” from auditors and “material weakness in internal control over financial reporting” should be automatic red flags for analysts. 

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

This section should include information on how the company manages the relationships related to Environmental, Social, and Governance. Below are some examples within these three areas that can have a lasting impact on the company’s short- and long-term prospects:

• E nvironmental – how is the company working towards the conservation of the natural world? This can include climate change and carbon emissions, air and water pollution, energy efficiency, waste management, and more. 
• S ocial – how does the company consider people and relationships? This can include community relations, human rights, gender and diversity, labor standards, customer satisfaction, and employee engagement. 
• G overnance – what are the standards for running the company? This can include board composition, audit committee structure, executive compensation, succession planning, leadership experience, and bribery and corruption policies. 

Enroll in our online ESG course and learn to identify the principles of ESG and how they are applied to investment strategies.

If you are interested in a career as an equity research analysts or in fixed income research, our online course covers all the key skills needed as either a sell side analyst in an investment bank or a buy side analyst working in an investment management firm.

Why the Gender Pay Gap Persists in American Businesses

By Molly Mitchell

Women have progressed a lot in terms of workplace gender equity since the days of Rosie the Riveter, but elements of inequity remain stubbornly in place. In 2024, for example, women still earn around 84 cents for every dollar a man earns for the same job on average in the US – almost the same as it was twenty years ago.

The Darden Report recently caught up with Professor Allison Elias , author of “ The Rise of Corporate Feminism ,” to explore the history of this continuing gender pay gap, where things stand today and new research on this dynamic.

Allison Elias’s 2022 book, “The Rise of Corporate Feminism,” was named a Best Summer Book of 2023: Business by the Financial Times .

What is the gender pay gap?

The gender pay gap refers to the difference in earnings between women and men. Specifically, it is the ratio of women’s to men’s median earnings, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, for full-time workers. And importantly, the often-cited 80 percent statistic provides an incomplete picture of women’s experiences in the labor market since the gap is exacerbated for many women of color. Hispanic and Black women experience the largest gaps relative to white, non-Hispanic men.

Why does the gender pay gap happen?

There are many reasons that the gender pay gap exists. Economists label these reasons as supply side (women’s choices) and demand side (employers’ choices), although it can be difficult to untangle the two or categorize them neatly as one or the other.

Traditionally, women have had lower educational attainment, been segregated into jobs that paid lower wages and had less continuous experience in the labor force. But we cannot attribute these trends to women’s choices alone. Legal constraints, economic structures and gender norms have also played a role in shaping women’s preferences and choices. Sociologists may even argue that career preferences emerge in childhood from gender-specific socialization processes.

On the demand side, gender discrimination (at the point of hire and beyond) has contributed to lower pay and fewer promotional opportunities for women. However, it is difficult to measure the extent to which implicit and explicit attitudes of employers account for the wage gap.

Do certain professions/fields experience the gap more than others?

The gender pay gap tends to increase as pay increases, in part because the minimum wage creates a floor for lower earners. People in managerial and professional work, where jobs are more gender integrated, see higher wage gaps than those in jobs requiring a high school degree.

Regarding MBA graduates, the gender wage gap tends to increase over time. Researchers at one top program examined multiple cohorts of MBA graduates 13 years following graduation and found that parenthood impacted women’s earnings more so than men’s. At 13 years out from graduation, women were earning 56 percent of what their male classmates earned. Factors like taking time away from work and working even a few hours fewer per week were found to have tremendous impact on women’s earnings later in their careers. Caregiving responsibilities have a negative influence on women’s earnings (e.g., the motherhood penalty), whereas men have been shown to actually earn more upon becoming fathers! For those in the highest-paid jobs, the returns for what sociologists call overwork are huge, and contribute significantly to sustaining the wage gap.

At a more micro level, we also know from experimental research in social psychology that women receive less credit—and also claim less credit—for their work when engaged in joint tasks with men. I have a recent paper coauthored with Jirs Meuris at Wisconsin where we examine almost two decades of data to demonstrate the effect on the gender wage gap of a job’s interdependence, meaning the extent to which a job requires working on a team or coordinating with others. Over time and across industries and occupations, jobs that are rated as more interdependent, meaning they require two or more people to sequentially complete tasks, have higher gender wage gaps.

This makes sense given what we know from social psychology about credit for joint work: In mixed gender groups, women receive and claim less credit, which could influence reward allocation. But also, we find that the gender of the task matters. The gender wage gap is exacerbated in male-dominated occupations and is lessened in female-dominated occupations.  Rewarding individual contributions in interdependent work settings is more complex and can sustain and worsen gender inequality, particularly in traditionally male settings.

Managers who wish to address this trend should revisit their performance evaluation systems, which were likely designed with independent work in mind. With increasing numbers of employees engaged in interdependent jobs, managers need to find new ways to evaluate individual contributions and rely on multiple sources when determining rewards.

How much progress towards equity have we made? 

Since 1960 the gap has narrowed, although it has hovered around 80 percent for several decades. Despite continuing inequities, women are more likely to graduate from high school, graduate from college and earn master’s degrees. They earn half of all doctorates. In MBA programs, women represent 47 percent of those receiving graduate business degrees from U.S. business schools (in 2020)—a significant increase from less than 5 percent in 1970.

Furthermore, women have gained control over reproduction with the dissemination of a birth control pill, and age at first marriage has continued to rise along with the percentage of women who prioritize career success. These factors are interrelated: investment in education—and interest in career advancement—becomes more attractive for women who have more control over family planning.

While there is much progress in educational attainment, the pay gap is largest in the highest-paid jobs that demand overwork, which economist Claudia Goldin calls “greedy jobs.” Jobs that are highly compensated, such as finance or corporate law, pay disproportionately more on a per-hour basis when they require more time (more than 40 hours a week) and offer less flexibility. A gender pay gap is sustained in these jobs because women are more likely to choose a more flexible path that does not have such high rewards for overwork. Goldin, who recently won the Nobel Prize, calls this issue the “last chapter” in the converging economic roles of men and women.

I have a forthcoming case with economist Peter Debaere about Goldin’s work, which uses protagonists from both of our books, “To America and Back Again” (English for: “Naar jouw Amerika en terug”), and “The Rise of Corporate Feminism,” to illustrate certain historical trends in women’s labor force participation.

Important to note is that even though women in the highest-paid work face the highest wage gap penalties, in general women remain overrepresented in the lowest-paying occupations. And occupations with greater proportions of women tend to pay less even when controlling for educational and skill requirements. Occupational gender segregation intersects with race and ethnicity. As of 2019, white men were overrepresented in jobs with the highest pay (e.g., physician, chief executive, financial investment, pilot, architect) and women (white, Black and Latina), as well as Black and Latino men, were overrepresented in jobs with the lowest pay (e.g., food service, childcare, cashier). So while the gender wage gap is lower among those with less education, occupational segregation remains high in those jobs.

What practical policies or actions are most effective in closing the gender wage gap?

It is difficult to declare one specific remedy for the gender wage gap. Recommendations usually target change at the individual or organizational level while governments are also forwarding interventions. For individuals, there has been much emphasis on women’s propensity (or lack thereof) to negotiate their starting salaries, particularly with the publication and dissemination of “Women Don’t Ask,” a groundbreaking book from 2003.

Recent research using MBA data from management professors Laura Kray, Jessica Kennedy and Margaret Lee suggests that actually women do ask, and the wage gap for this population is no longer an individual-level phenomenon. Instead, organizations and governments should advance solutions, and there is promise in at least two remedies: banning salary history and promoting pay transparency.

Given the historic lack of pay transparency in the private sector, companies are increasingly opting to perform audits to try to ensure pay equity regardless of gender or race. And states are adopting laws to ban an employer’s questions about a candidate’s previous salary, which has been shown to improve salary outcomes for women and underrepresented minorities. Under consideration at the federal level is the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would expand coverage for equal pay and also ban salary history considerations and promote pay transparency.

Is Columbia Disciplined Core A (AQEAX) a Strong Mutual Fund Pick Right Now?

If you have been looking for Large Cap Blend fund category, a potential starting could be Columbia Disciplined Core A ( AQEAX Quick Quote AQEAX - Free Report ) . AQEAX holds a Zacks Mutual Fund Rank of 3 (Hold), which is based on various forecasting factors like size, cost, and past performance.

AQEAX is part of the Large Cap Blend section, an area that boasts an array of many possible options. Large Cap Blend mutual funds most often invest in firms with a market capitalization of $10 billion or more. By investing in bigger companies, these funds offer more stability, and are often well-suited for investors with a " buy and hold " mindset. Blended funds mix large, established companies into their holdings, which gives investors exposure to both value and growth at the same time.

History of Fund/Manager

Columbia is based in Kansas City, MO, and is the manager of AQEAX. Since Columbia Disciplined Core A made its debut in December of 2004, AQEAX has garnered more than $4.06 billion in assets. The fund is currently managed by Raghavendran Sivaraman who has been in charge of the fund since December of 2019.

Performance

Of course, investors look for strong performance in funds. AQEAX has a 5-year annualized total return of 12.64% and it sits in the bottom third among its category peers. But if you are looking for a shorter time frame, it is also worth looking at its 3-year annualized total return of 11.48%, which places it in the middle third during this time-frame.

It is important to note that the product's returns may not reflect all its expenses. Any fees not reflected would lower the returns. Total returns do not reflect the fund's [%] sale charge. If sales charges were included, total returns would have been lower.

When looking at a fund's performance, it is also important to note the standard deviation of the returns. The lower the standard deviation, the less volatility the fund experiences. Compared to the category average of 14.7%, the standard deviation of AQEAX over the past three years is 17.6%. Looking at the past 5 years, the fund's standard deviation is 18.54% compared to the category average of 15.67%. This makes the fund more volatile than its peers over the past half-decade.

Risk Factors

With a 5-year beta of 1, the fund is likely to be as volatile as the market average. Another factor to consider is alpha, as it reflects a portfolio's performance on a risk-adjusted basis relative to a benchmark-in this case, the S&P 500. AQEAX has generated a negative alpha over the past five years of -1.79, demonstrating that managers in this portfolio find it difficult to pick securities that generate better-than-benchmark returns.

Investigating the equity holdings of a mutual fund is also a valuable exercise. This can show us how the manager is applying their stated methodology, as well as if there are any inherent biases in their approach. For this particular fund, the focus is largely on equities that are traded in the United States.

As of the last filing date, the mutual fund has 83.88% of its assets in stocks, which have an average market capitalization of $339.01 billion. The fund has the heaviest exposure to the following market sectors:

For investors, taking a closer look at cost-related metrics is key, since costs are increasingly important for mutual fund investing. Competition is heating up in this space, and a lower cost product will likely outperform its otherwise identical counterpart, all things being equal. In terms of fees, AQEAX is a load fund. It has an expense ratio of 0.97% compared to the category average of 0.93%. So, AQEAX is actually more expensive than its peers from a cost perspective.

Investors need to be aware that with this product, the minimum initial investment is $2,000; each subsequent investment has no minimum amount.

Fees charged by investment advisors have not been taken into considiration. Returns would be less if those were included.

Bottom Line

Overall, even with its comparatively weak performance, average downside risk, and higher fees, Columbia Disciplined Core A ( AQEAX ) has a neutral Zacks Mutual Fund rank, and therefore looks a somewhat average choice for investors right now.

Why the ‘Math Equity’ Movement Is a Scam

Jarrett Stepman / @JarrettStepman / April 05, 2024

The "math equity" movement is based on flimsy research and the advocacy of con artists. That's what is revealed in recent reports. Pictured: Students work on a class assignment Jan. 8, 2019, at Mission High School in San Francisco. (Photo: Lea Suzuki/The San Francisco Chronicle/Getty Images)

The so-called math equity movement is a scam.

That’s what’s starting to come to light after a series of reports about its leaders in California revealed that the math equity movement is based on flimsy research and the advocacy of con artists.

The phenomenon of “math equity” swept the country in recent years, accelerating during and after the COVID-19 lockdowns. At the most basic level, this movement is driven by the same ethos that drives the entire diversity, equity, and inclusion movement—that disparities in outcomes between groups is a result of structural bias and inequality.

Basically, the contention is that the way math is taught is racist and is producing inequality. One guideline for equitable math instruction contended that it’s “white supremacy” for teachers to demand that students “show their work.”

The philosophical basis for the movement was bogus to begin with, but that didn’t stop schools around the country from adopting math equity standards to join in on the national “ race reckoning .”

It turns out that there was little evidence that programs reducing standards had any kind of positive effect, even for the students they were alleged to be helping.

Someone recently filed a lengthy complaint with Stanford University about its equity math guru, Jo Boaler.

The complaint accuses Boaler of “reckless disregard for accuracy,” citing 52 instances in which she allegedly misrepresented research in her work.

“Our contention is that Dr. Boaler has misrepresented the findings and/or methods of a number of reference papers, and for her to erroneously represent that these papers support claims made in her work, when they do not, is a reckless disregard for accuracy,” the complaint reads. “Stanford says it does research to benefit society, but how would its research benefit society if it is based in inaccuracy?”

The complaint cites one of Boaler’s findings: that students performed better when they received comments from teachers rather than grades. This conclusion was based on a 1988 study. 

However, the Washington Free Beacon noted that the “study did not involve an actual academic class taught over the course of several months—a limitation acknowledged by the study’s author but not by Boaler.”

Boaler denied the accusations in an interview Monday with Fox Business . The complaint is just the “latest attempt to silence and discredit me,” she said.

Her defense was that her findings were verified by “an independent party” and that those who criticize her work simply have a different point of view.

“The accusers disagree with my interpretation of the cited findings, with most of their accusations demonstrating a lack of understanding of educational research protocols and processes,” Boaler told Fox Business. “In my view, and in the view of others who have analyzed their output, this in no way reaches any level of academic misconduct, but rather points to differences in beliefs about education.”

Boaler isn’t just another lefty academic. She’s a math education professor who’s been at the forefront of pushing “equity” in math education . 

She was one of the authors of the California Mathematics Framework , a statewide guideline that’s geared toward promoting social justice. The framework is the reason that San Francisco public schools dropped algebra from the curriculum in 2014.

Not only that, but Boaler’s work is cited nationally to promote other math equity programs. Her work has given the movement cover to foist ideologically motivated curriculum with a thin veneer of evidence that it produces positive outcomes.

According to the New York Post , Boaler gets “$5,000 an hour for Zoom consultations.”

This wasn’t the only scandal to hit the California math equity establishment in the past month. The online platform Pirate Wires this week reported on Yolande Beckles , a woman who has worked as a math equity consultant in the Golden State for years. Beckles now serves as vice chair of the Los Angeles Unified School District’s Parent Advisory Committee.

She’s pushed San Francisco schools to abandon gifted math programs in the name of equity.

Pirate Wires reported that Beckles was actually a reality TV star in the early 2000s who “left her native U.K. with 19 standing court judgments levying almost £70,000 [$75,845] in fines at her defunct businesses and a front-page exposé revealing that she had defrauded underprivileged school kids of £12,000 [$12,999].”

Beckles is “set to give a webinar at Stanford next month with Jo Boaler,” Pirate Wires reported.

It must be noted that despite the influence of people such as Boaler and Beckles, San Francisco will bring back algebra instruction for eighth graders. 

In early March, voters overwhelmingly supported a ballot measure calling for the return of algebra. The tally was 83,916 votes to 16,105, according to an education news site, The 74 .

“We want to send a message that San Francisco schools are back on track and they’re making commonsense decisions,” said city Board of Supervisors member Ahsha Safaí , a co-sponsor of the ballot measure. 

It’s good to see San Francisco’s leaders return to common sense. It only took them 10 years.

The San Francisco Unified School District already had decided to bring back algebra before voters passed the ballot measure, but as we’ve learned, education is too important to be left to educrats.

What should be obvious, if it wasn’t already, is that the math equity movement’s foundation isn’t really in improving outcomes for students.

It’s based on a desire to create equal outcomes, regardless of outcome. It’s not about ensuring that, say, black and Hispanic students achieve higher math proficiency. It’s about making them feel like they are doing better, even if that comes at the expense of other students.

That system may benefit some who get a stamp of approval from the education establishment and get pushed on up the ladder of success regardless of merit. But it’s catastrophic for a society as competence takes a back seat to identity and ideology.

What happens to a society that accepts this standard for not just one but multiple generations?

The result is something like what happened in the Soviet Union. Sure, there were still plenty of intelligent and clever people at the top, but failure, dysfunction, and cynical complacency became generally endemic.

The result was decay and collapse.

The math equity movement in America is simply a codification of the “ soft bigotry of low expectations .” The data behind it is flimsy, and the ethos is worse.
