the gap between retail investors and tools for institutional fundamental analysis of stocks is still absurd in 2026

Something that keeps bugging me is how different the analysis experience is depending on whether you're managing a billion dollar fund or just your own money. Institutional guys get real time data feeds, multi factor screening, automated alerts on fundamental changes, detailed segment breakdowns bla bla. We get yahoo finance charts and maybe a seeking alpha subscription if we're feeling fancy. I keep running into the same wall. I want to do proper fundamental analysis on a stock but the free tools give you surface level stuff and the paid ones are either crazy expensive or just glorified news aggregators. Like last month I was trying to compare operating margins across different semiconductor companies and adjust for stock based compensation differences. On a bloomberg terminal this takes seconds but for me it was an afternoon of pulling 10k filings and putting numbers in a spreadsheet like wtf I pulled up the financials on valuesense and a couple other platforms trying to get cleaner data and it got me thinking about how much time retail investors waste just getting to the starting line of real analysis. The information is technically public but the cost of actually organizing it into something usable is massive. What's your actual workflow look like when you're researching a new position?
