It is often noted that a company is not releasing news heading into an earnings report because it is in its 'quiet period'. Meanwhile, analysts covering said company sometimes issue updated notes and ratings on it immediately prior to their earnings release.
Why, during the lead-up into earnings, must a company refrain from releasing news that could affect its stock price, while analysts have free reign to express their views with no regard to its impact on the market.
