Not sure. I'll look around my home desktop, might have a few saved there. PM me later on and I'll see if I can send them your way -- not 100% sure I still have them though.

I don't understand, are you expecting to read an industry report the night before the interview and try to convince the analyst that you know the industry inside out? rather than doing that, I would focus on the SKILLS you bring to the table.

As you are asking for industry reports I am assuming you are either fresh from school or a career switcher. If you got the interview, the analyst ALREADY knows that you have no clue about the industry and wants to interview you for something else (maybe your skills...just saying or education).

Instead of asking you about the industry, most likely he will ask you about the industry of the company you are CURRENTLY working in or if you are fresh from school he will ask you for a stock you like and then its industry. He wants to test how you see things.

If you still want industry reports, PM me the industry and I can send you some.

Ticker symbols? Will look at it when I get back to work tomorrow.

There are "premium" research houses that are specific to certain sectors - for example, in energy, there is Douglas Westwood and Wood Mackenzie (note that their reports are quite expensive - c. US$2,500 and above).

I would also try and find out who the respective industry bodies are that are associated with the sector you are looking at - they often develop fairly comprehensive coverage of their specific segment.

 

Yahoo is probably the best free, online source. If you type in a ticker symbol, check the left side of the screen for 'Industry' listed under 'Company' in BOLD. You can find competitors there.
