These are shenanigans that us juniors will never know but have been a part of.

I remember one name we were IPO on, we were gonna go neutral in the initiation. Two days before the report were gonna go out, my boss told me he changed mind and wanted it to make it a buy. So I shrank the investment negatives section and slapped some multiple that's crazier than it was already crazy at neutral rating.

Sh*t like that is where I suspect he got some pressure by IB side to "make it a buy cuz we wanna do some bit-ness with them down the road."
