The Best Analysts of the Year

摘要

The Credit Suisse duo led by Steven East, 38, reclaims the top spot after spending last year in second place. Praised by one client for being "knowledgeable and good on the details," the team upgraded French aerospace-equipment manufacturer Safran from neutral to outperform in August, at €10.85, on strong earnings growth. The stock had shot up to €12.89 by mid-September, a gain of 18.8 percent that bested the sector by 5.8 percentage points, and the analysts downgraded it to neutral, on valuation. The shares ended the year at €13.69.
