SEC Issues Alert on Analysts' Reports
The SEC has issued an investor alert, warning investors of the "potential conflict of interest" that may exist with respect to analysts' reports.
Potential conflicts of interest include issuing favorable reports to help support shares of a company that the analysts' employer, the brokerage firm, helped bring public. Or, issuing favorable reports to help lure lucrative investment banking relationships with the issuing companies. Finally, analysts may own shares in the companies about which they are issuing favorable reports.
