Do Investment Banker ever calculate a specific ratio by their own research?

This may be a beginner question, but I'm actually curious. I mean, for example, when identifying the WACC of a company (Market Risk premium, Beta, etc...) do analyst do the research themselves? Or simply write down WACC in a Bloomberg Terminal to and find the company and plug it into the excel model?
