Welcome to Analyst Corner! Every Sunday, a member of the Coresight Research team discusses upcoming or recent research and their thoughts on interesting topics in their area of expertise.

Analyst Corner also highlights our key research from the past week and upcoming reports to look out for, so you don’t miss out.
