Christopher Danely J.P. Morgan
The buy side says: “His client service is second to none.”
In his fourth straight appearance in the winner’s circle, Christopher Danely continues to impress clients with his customer service and strong analytical skills. The J.P. Morgan researcher, who is stationed in San Francisco, “has solid contacts on the ground in Asia, and this helps keep him up-to-speed on the incremental movements in demand throughout the channel,” asserts one buy-side backer. Danely, 39, upgraded Linear Technology Corp. of Milpitas, California, from neutral to overweight in July, at $27.64, on its growing market presence, among other factors. Shares of the company, which designs, manufactures and markets a line of high-performance analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, were trading above $32 by the end of that month but had drifted back to $28.62 by late August, for a gain of 3.5 percent that nonetheless led the sector by 10.8 percentage points.
