What Does An
ER Analyst Do?
The primary role of an Equity Research Analyst
is to evaluate and recommend actions on
financial securities. They analyze a company's
financial statements, assessing costs, revenue,
and risk.
Analysts also monitor company events and
gather information to create financial models,
predict future performance, and offer buy, sell,
or hold recommendations. These models rely
on various assumptions, which can vary among
analysts.

the stocks. They also communicate with the
sell-side research analyst for stock
updates and advice.
