The Wall Street Journal’s Best on the Street survey identifies the top five analysts in each of 44 industries, based only on stock-picking skill. The data was assembled by FactSet, a Norwalk, Conn., company that tracks analysts' recommendations and earnings estimates. To determine the winners, FactSet surveyed nearly 7,000 analysts and more than 500 firms, identifying more than 2,000 analysts at nearly 200 firms that fit the criteria to be counted in the rankings. To be eligible, analysts generally had to follow at least five stocks in an industry group during 2010.

 

Morningstar provides data on approximately 30,000 stocks and has 117 equity and credit analysts worldwide who provide qualitative analyst coverage on about 2,000 companies globally.
