Overview

Comet's assistant can ingest research reports and distill the most important information for you in seconds.

In this example, sell-side research reports are dense, often running 20-50 pages with detailed financial models, sector commentary, and nuanced ratings rationale.

Comet can turn the investment thesis, key risks, price target rationale, and earnings estimates into a concise summary. This lets analysts, investors, and executives absorb critical insights from multiple reports in minutes rather than hours.

Tips

  • Ask for comparisons across multiple reports: Attach several reports on the same company and ask Comet to 'compare the investment theses and identify where analysts agree and disagree'
  • Request extraction of specific data points: Ask Comet to 'pull the revenue estimates for FY25 and FY26 from each report into a table' to quickly build a consensus model
  • Flag the context you care about: Adding 'I'm focused on near-term catalysts and downside risks' helps Comet prioritise the sections most relevant to your current analysis
