Best Equity Research on the street?

What research do you guys subscribe to that is most relevant/accurate in your opinion? Also, does anyone use expert networks as an alternative? 

We have a relationship with all the BBs and like BoFa & MS but I think this is purely because of our "relationship". Heard Citi has invested a lot in their research division and wants to be a "game-changer" but we're not convinced yet.

IMHO, itr really depends on the sector & analyst rather than the bank. However, on the sectors I have covered I´d say MS was the best. Exane was also very good on some European names.

Depends on the sector for example Baird and Suntrust are the best in leisure products imo. Wolfe, Melius and Vertical are quality in Industrials. BTIG and Needham seem to be a useful resource getting up to speed on shorts. Specialists shops in certain sectors or just II rankings. I like that GS and MS make it nice and simple to download models. I hate JPM research but don’t know if that’s just a function of my main sectors. Canada banks in my sector are basically seeking alpha level pumpers
