TipRanks Identifies the Top 10 Wall Street Analysts of 2020

NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TipRanks, the world's leading analyst ranking service, has identified the Top 10 Wall Street analysts of 2020.

The ranking was based on the analysts' ability to generate returns with their stock ratings and price targets. TipRanks' algorithms calculated the average return and statistical significance of each rating, as well as the analysts' overall success rate. Each rating made during 2020 was measured over three months.

Analysts covering the technology sector dominated again, with seven out of the ten specializing in that sector. Unlike 2019, no analysts covering healthcare made the list. The other sectors represented are services, financial, and basic materials.

Three Oppenheimer analysts feature on the list, in first, second and fifth place. Both RBC Capital and Northland Securities have two analysts who made the top 10.

TipRanks CEO, Uri Gruenbaum, commented, "While we are not an analyst endorsement platform, we are always excited to see those that generate excess returns and feel obligated to highlight them. In 2020, we continued to see the power of smaller research firms in producing a disproportionate number of top-performing analysts."

The top 10 Wall Street analysts of 2020 are:

1. Jason Helfstein, Oppenheimer, Technology, 79% success rate, 30.10% average return per recommendation, 116 ratings
2. Colin Rusch, Oppenheimer, Technology, 82% success rate, 42.70% average return per recommendation, 88 ratings
