What does the word analyst coverage usually mean in investor relations of listed companies?

IR is actually similar to the secretary of the board of directors. The IR of listed companies is mainly responsible for:

1. Preparations for the meeting of shareholders' meeting, board of directors and its audit committee, remuneration committee, nomination and corporate governance committee.

2. In the disclosure of the company's important information, IR communicates with the company internally and releases information through news release agencies externally. Of course, there are also sellers' analysts who publish company-related research. Analysts of this research company are included in the analyst coverage, and the analyst coverage generally includes analysts who track and analyze companies.

Of course, information disclosure is not only aimed at the seller (the seller is equivalent to an objective and professional observer), but also at the buyer, including potential investors and existing shareholders of the company.
