Publicly available buyside research

Any sources of no B/S, to the point buy-side research thats publicly accessible?

Sell-side reports contain too much duplicate words. For example, initiation report on an IPO can be 100 pages long. If you remove all the duplicate paragraphs / words it can be just 5 pages or so. Same for annual reports etc.

So any punchy buyside reports that you guys follow that can be accessible by the public?

I cannot answer that question for you, because it's dependent on your investment style. 

If you are a deep value investor and I suggest you go read Polen Capital's letter, that doesn't do you any good. 

If you are a growth investor and I suggest you go read Michael Price's letter, same logic. 

The ones that you work with on the sell-side are mostly multi-managers, they don't write letters lol.
