Investopedia explains 'Covered Stock (Coverage)'

The number of analysts covering a stock can vary widely. While widely held blue chips may be covered by as many as 30 to 40 analysts, small companies that are not well-known may only be covered by one or two analysts. An analyst who stops covering a stock will generally issue a "discontinuing coverage" report.
