Tycho Peterson J.P. Morgan
Shooting straight in to second place is Tycho Peterson of J.P. Morgan. “Tycho has a talent for following the earnings to find alpha opportunities that his counterparts miss,” says one pension fund manager. In late April 2009 the analyst reiterated his buy recommendation on Mettler-Toledo International, at $61.63, on the Swiss instrument manufacturer’s strong growth prospects. The stock vaulted to $110.59 through August 2010, a stunning 79.4 percent advance that outdistanced the sector by 58.2 percentage points.
