Maybe you're right, I guess an analyst is not subject to the rule..but the company is. IPO- SEC S-1 Registration Quiet period -- the time period in which companies are forbidden by the Securities & Exchange Commission to say anything not included in their prospectus that could be interpreted as hyping an offering. Starts the day a company files an S-1 registration statement and lasts until 25 days after a stock starts trading. Intent and effect of quiet period have been hotly debated.

I don't know about PER analyst...and who's right or wrong. Some more info on the subject. IPO research report In a new issue is the analyst research report, which comes out about 25 days after a stock starts trading. Because the analysts who first start covering a new issue work at the banks that helped bring the company public, these "rah-rah" reports nearly always include a "buy" or "strong buy" rating and rarely make much of an impact on a stock's price. However, they do provide some food for thought, as well as revenue and earnings estimates that can help an investor decide on an appropriate valuation. "After 25 days, you can get a better feel of the outlook for the company," says John Fitzgibbon, editor of the IPO Reporter.
