Institutional Investor unveiling its 39th annual all-America research team, with Executive Editor Michael Peltz and Lisa Gill, JPMorgan Health Care analyst.
J.P. Morgan takes top honors for the first time with 46 total team positions in the All-America Research Team ranking of the nation’s best sell-side equity analysts.
After two years in the runner-up position, Chip Dillon of Credit Suisse rises to No. 3. “He is able to understand more-esoteric issues specific to the space,” touts one client. Dillon initiated coverage of Pactiv Corp., the maker of Hefty brand trash and sandwich bags and a producer of food-service and food-packaging products, in March with an outperform rating, making the case that the Lake Forest, Illinois–based company was undervalued on the basis of earnings and cash flow.
Michael Gambardella, who sits atop the sector for a third year running, “has been covering this space for 25 years or more — I believe that is the right number — and he offers an unparalleled perspective, given his history with these companies and his relationships,” according to one satisfied client.
