LONDON, 2013-05-22 11:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
The Wall Street Journal has published the results of the first annual 'Europe's
Best Analysts Survey' in conjunction with FactSet, the US-based company that
tracks analysts' recommendations and earnings estimates. The European survey
builds on the long-standing Wall Street Journal 'Best on the Street' annual
survey for US analysts, which has just marked its 21st anniversary.
The 'Europe's Best Analysts Survey' ranks top equity securities analysts based
on an objective, quantitative evaluation of stock-picking performance. Analysts
receive credit for correct buy and sell recommendations, and can be eligible in
as many sectors as they meet coverage requirements for.
The survey focuses on more than 20 sectors of key interest to investors,
including automobiles, banks, financial services, oil and gas,
telecommunications and industrial goods and services. The survey assessed
analysts in 11 countries: France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands,
Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.
Awards are given to the top three analysts in each country, and also the top
three analysts overall in each sector. Winning analysts will also be identified
within FactSet's Estimates reports.
The Wall Street Journal used FactSet Estimates to collect results for this
year's survey. FactSet Estimates is an all-inclusive database of analyst
recommendations, which provides several dozen estimate types with access to
intraday updates. FactSet Estimates uses data from more than 780 contributing
brokers to cover more than 16,000 active global companies.
