It's 100% clickbait, as the second part of the article is available only to paid subscribers.

I don't really consider that clickbait. You've just described most subscriber-only content from analysts and others. But not sure how useful it is to post half an article here.
"something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest."[1]

The article you get when clicking isn't the content promised by the headline. To get the content promised, one needs to go to a second article, which requires a fee.

If that's not clickbait, I dunno what is.

Your beef is really with whoever submitted the headline. I certainly don't assume I have full access to reports on analyst sites.
