Ranking investment research brokers

Hi all, curious to get the forum's opinion on credibility of equity research providers as found on CapIQ Investment Research, ThomsonOne (Refinitiv), AlphaSense, etc. Trying to coach up our analysts on which sources are good, which are bad. Any thoughts?

My Top 10 ranking in terms of analysis quality, breadth of coverage, etc. are:

  1. JP Morgan
  2. UBS
  3. Oppenheimer
  4. Cannacord Genuity
  5. Credit Suisse
  6. Deutsche Bank
  7. Jeffries
  8. Barclays
  9. Evercore
  10. BTIG
