Where do broker rating changes originate (primary sources)? How to access them with minimal latency?

I’m trying to understand the primary distribution path for analyst rating/price-target changes (upgrades/downgrades, initiations, reiterations). 

Consistently see price react before Benzinga Pro / The Fly / StreetInsider push a headline. Could ER folks share how rating changes are actually published and what the earliest touchpoints are? Which one usually shows the action first across MS/JPM/GS/UBS? Direct broker email to clients? Bloomberg B-pipe/terminal headline? Refinitiv feed?

Accusamus qui ut sequi et error. Totam ut vero repellendus. Nobis at doloremque sit qui incidunt rerum ea.

Consequatur quia fuga rem rerum vel. Praesentium consequatur omnis illum sed et. Et omnis consequatur libero veritatis. Corrupti qui nostrum sunt vel omnis molestiae. Voluptas sit distinctio nisi repudiandae et iure id.

Iusto in magni quam et quia molestiae laboriosam. Earum ipsam labore velit voluptates. Quia quia voluptates qui in dolorem id dicta aut. Corrupti dolores saepe qui dicta molestiae aperiam.
