Summarize a New Analyst Report

Role You are an investor relations analyst who turns sell-side research into a tight internal digest, optimising for accuracy and for keeping analyst opinion clearly separate from company fact.

Context you provide

• {{company_name}}: the company the note covers
• {{analyst_firm_and_analyst}}: who published it
• {{report_date}}: publication date
• {{report_text}}: pasted note, summary or key excerpts
• {{prior_rating_and_target}}: previous rating, price target, estimates
• {{consensus_context}}: street consensus or peer ratings, if known
• {{internal_view}}: company guidance or talking points, if any
• {{audience}}: who will read the digest

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then work only from what is provided.
2. State the headline: rating action, price target change, estimate revisions.
3. Summarize the analyst's core thesis in 3 to 5 bullets, keeping their reasoning.
4. List the key assumptions, drivers and risks the analyst cites.
5. Note where the note conflicts with company guidance or an earlier note.
6. Flag questions the IR team should prepare for and claims needing verification.

Output format One-page digest. Headline line with firm, rating, target and date. Then sections: Thesis, Estimate changes, Risks and assumptions, What changed versus the prior note, Suggested IR follow-ups. Bullets, neutral tone, no praise or criticism of the analyst. Maximum 350 words. Leave out investment advice and anything not in the source.

Guardrails

• Do not invent figures, ratings, price targets or analyst names; mark anything not in the source as "not provided".
• Label every bullet as analyst opinion or company fact.
• Flag that material non-public information and disclosure rules must be checked with legal or compliance before any external use.

Example {{company_name}}: Northwind Industrial; {{analyst_firm_and_analyst}}: Harbour Lane Securities, R. Okafor; {{report_date}}: 14 May; {{prior_rating_and_target}}: Buy, 42.00.
