How many ER reports do you prepare per month during a reports season (let's say you only update existing models and don't initiate any new coverages)? How about a quiet season? What are you doing when you have no new reports?
I personally kinda feel bad about preparing only a couple of ER reports per month recently because of a quiet season in my region (frontier/emerging market) and companies pulling back on publishing the reports as they were told by the regulator they can literally delay those by September. I don't know what to do at this point as literally all companies I need to get reports from have not been responsive to the calls. At this point, when I am finishing with my current ER work, I am spending time on polishing my old models from some shit, looking for good OTC companies to get them listed, and having fun on creating my own index (yes, lol).
EVADCFer, sorry about the lack of response. Maybe one of these topics will help:
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...

How data dependent is your sector? Don't you have interesting monthly data releases you can turn into a regular publication? Then you still have big thematic pieces
The companies hardly publish anything, I am constantly on calls just to get any new info beside the financial reports lol
This really depends on several things: Are you an analyst or an covering associate? How many names do you have under your coverage? What is your research head's directive? I don't think there's a general rule of thumb for this...I've heard of houses where analysts had to write a report a day (although most of these are one-pagers plus charts). And I've heard of houses which produce a minimal number of reports, but max out client interactions instead.
In a quiet period we put out around 10 notes a month. These are weekly/monthly industry data and then company’s put news out monthly that we respond to. Earnings season I write a million notes/model updates while my analyst does literally nothing.
