Top Analysts

either! not picky on any insight. appreciate it

This is amazing. Thanks ES. I recently talked with an alum at BofA in HC, and he mentioned that their MedTech banking team is top on the street.

Also, what's LL rank? Not familiar with the acronym.

"Earnings Szn" I'd argue that platform matters over analyst. Just stick to BB with a bias to the banks with fancier banking reputations. Most of the "insight" generated by these guys is more network and less primary research, though I've seen some good stuff come from the Pipers and Jefcos of the world, especially in HC.

Side note, do you cover HC? Seems like it.

Any info on Pharma or Biotech analysts?

What makes a great SS analyst then if their stock price predictions don't matter much, and conversely what makes a SS analyst terrible? Trying to learn more about the industry so would really appreciate a response, I literally thought that a SS analyst trying to have the closest calls in price targets is what made them respected/useful.

Also makes a lot of sense now why so many SS analysts stay on the sell-side instead of moving to the buy-side, seems like a very safe gig if you don't even have to have good predictions

I don't disagree, but OP specifically asked about who has had good predictions for the past couple of years and TipRanks does aggregate that data. If you are on the buy side and have access to the actual reports, the last thing you should be looking at is the price target.
