Solid Tech Groups?

MS and CS have solid TMT groups...

gs,ms,barclays,db,cs,twp,gca(believe it or not, they are pretty good at the MM space), sagent

havent heard much from citi,ubs,blackstone, evercore,greenhill as far as tech goes.

I think i am missing some but not sure which ones, please add them in if you think of one

JPM is advising HP in the largest tech deal of the year. Not sure how good it is in general.

I. MS, GS and CS II. BarCap, JPM III. DB, Citi

我是来打酱油的

^^^ where are experiencing a chinese cyber attack

Pacific Crest is a good tech boutique

i feel bad for cs.. they are getting their asses raped in the 3par deal..

GS, MS and CS have always dominated Tech Banking. More recently, JPM owing to overall strength of the franchise is doing well...Among the botiques Qatalyst is clearly making in-roads as well. But when it comes to big deals the top three are likely to dominate. Here are some recent tech deals : - Intel, McAfee (GS, MS) - HP, Dell and 3PAR (JPM, CS, Qatalyst) - HP, Palm (BoA-ML, Qatalyst)
- Intel, Windriver Systems (CS, GS) - Oracle, Sun Microsystems (CS) - SAP, Sybase (BarCap, DB, BoA-ML) - Xerox, ACS ( JPM, Blackstone, Citi, Evercore) - Dell, Perot Systems (MS, GS) - HP, 3-Com (MS, GS) - Cisco, Starent Networks (BarCap, GS) - EMC, Data Domain (Qatalyst) - Cisco, Tandberg (Lazard, JPM) - IBM, SPSS (BoA-ML)

Qatalyst is definitely the top.

where can we look at dealflow numbers to back these stats up?

Yes, I was about to bring up Jefferies. Actually, a very solid bank, great in Media and Healthcare.

there's no way jpm should be below citi and db

JPM's tech group has been killing it in the past 2 years. Number 1 in IPOs last year and top 3 in tech m&a for the last 2 years. //www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/2009-us-tech-ma-league-table

GS and MS are far ahead because of Intel McAfee, which was a huge deal.

gs or ms get on almost every single big deal...

GS, MS, CS and Qatalyst are the legit names in the Valley. JPM and DB are both secondary players, though JPM is throwing it's balance sheet around and winning a ton of deals thanks to crazy cheap financings. As an analyst though, I'd probably go to Qatalyst - for the size of their office they're destroying people.
