Equity Research
Term category: Stocks
In 10 words or less:  Research conducted to analyze stocks for possible investments

Definition: Equity research analysts analyze companies in order to find possible investments.  Sell-side equity research is when these analysts provide their research to clients.  Buy-side equity research is when the analysts do their own research to invest their firm's money (e.g. mutual funds, hedge funds).

Advice: A good amount of equity research has been tainted, particularly on the sell-side, due to conflicts of interest.   When reading these reports, be sure to take everything with a grain of salt.
