Excel pasted into PPT
analysts make them. Really, charts are the primary output of an analyst. Almost everything you do in excel is eventually put into chart form.
So they just use Excel? Some of the graphs M/B/B makes don't look like Excel graphs though
All done in excel my man.
Nope, they're all Excel. You'll be surprised at all the crazy shit you learn to do in Excel over the course of a 16 hour day, 7 day-a-week job.
The technology you're thinking of is called ThinkCell. It can do some pretty amazing stuff that isn't included in stock powerpoint.

I can confirm what Matthias said, that the MBB guys use Think-Cell... it is so much faster and cleaner than using excel graphs. It is pretty cheap - only about $300 per year per license and I can confirm it saves about 40% of time to create PPT charts from raw data.
excel with specially programmed add ins for your banks style. pretty simple
