If you post a copyrighted analyst report, word for word, then you are likely infringing on their copyright. The facts or ideas contained within the report are not subject to the copyright so "you are free to report the facts and ideas embodied in another person's article or web page. Copyright only protects the expression — the combination of words and structure that expresses the factual information — not the facts themselves." (source EFF)

I'm not an attorney but my understanding is that adding your own commentary or analysis to the quoted work constitutes fair use. So please keep those analyst updates coming :)
