Generate weekly AI equity research reports with Google Sheets, FMP, NewsAPI, OpenAI, and Gmail

📘 Description This workflow automatically generates professional equity research reports for selected companies using financial data, market news, and AI analysis. It is designed for analysts, founders, and finance teams who want consistent, data-backed equity insights without manual research. On a weekly schedule, the workflow reads a list of companies from Google Sheets and processes only those marked as enabled. For each company, it collects five years of financial statements and recent market news, calculates key financial signals, and uses AI to generate a structured SWOT analysis, risk assessment, and growth outlook. The final report is converted into a PDF, logged for tracking, and emailed automatically.
