Best Industrials Groups on the Street 2026
Hi all,
I’m an incoming SA currently going through group placement and find industrials interesting. Would love to get some clarity on what the best industrials groups on the street are, maybe via general ranking or by vertical.
i haven’t seen a ranking/list that’s been published recently so any thoughts are appreciated!

baird bro trust me bro
GS, JPM, MS (probably that order). EVR for boutiques
According to LSEG M&A fees, JPM, Citi, GS, BofA seem to be top 4 every year.
Piper Sandler
GS Citi JPM are the strongest. MS also decent but incredibly sweaty
How sweaty we talking here 🤔
How does UBS stack up against the groups mentioned? Genuine question

The Industrials rankings tend to mirror the rankings of banks in general. It’s a big vertical with a lot of deal flow. It’s also very fragmented in terms of market share, so there’s flow to go around across several banks.
What about the boutiques? How would you rank EVR/CVW/PJT/MOE/LAZ?
Generally agree with this but would say that IMO this still probably only covers half of the relevant players in the market. Industrials is such a broad definition that probably makes up a reasonable amount of every (diversified) bank’s wallet.
M&A only or financing included?
Financing included, any context would be appreciated
wf industrials (based on what ive been told) is pretty solid
gs, citi, jpm for bb if you're thinking strongest
