About 25% of U.S.-listed companies have no analyst coverage, a trend that is increasing. This lack of coverage leads to wider bid-ask spreads, lower stock prices, and reduced investor demand, especially impacting smaller companies with an average market cap of around $230 million. Larger firms, like those in the Nasdaq-100, maintain strong coverage with many analysts. The decline in small-cap research profitability is driven by shrinking commissions, passive investing, and industry consolidation. The SEC is considering policies to revive IPOs and improve analyst coverage economics to keep markets efficient and transparent for all companies.
