On either the Home page or the Business Discovery page (a box found under Discover Topics),

1. click on Advanced Search under the Search box
2. enter your search terms in the new Search box
3. under Select a specific content type next to it find Company and Financial
4. under that click on Analyst Reports. Then do your search!
