What determines which companies get covered by sell-side research?
Curious to know
Some of these stocks I'm looking at are not covered by sell-side research, despite being very good / solid companies
Feel that one of the reasons for mispricings on these companies is because there is no coverage on them
However, I'm not sure if / what would make sell-side researchers cover the company. Ideally would like to use it as a potential catalyst for the stock price rising but want to confirm generally how one decides which companies get covered
Trading volume (interrelated with market cap)
Whether the bank was on the IPO (then coverage is mandatory)
Whether the covered company needs financing down the road
Also, no one wants to cover conglomerates
above all else -- If it generates trading fees for the bank.
