Research for Comparable Companies

Hi,

I havent had an internship in IB so far and therefore would be interested in how extensive the research part in trading -/transaction comps actually should be. Taking into consideration the length of all those filings one has to review, it seems to me as if it would take weeks to get a decent list of comparables. Or do you leave certain parts out when reading the filings?
