安德鲁斯坦曼纳米。MORGANFIRST-地方出场：12总出现：16
分析师首次亮相：1999年
全美研究团队名额安德鲁斯坦曼celebrates his tenth straight year at No. 1 on this list, raising his total number of top finishes to 12. The J.P. Morgan analyst reports on 27 companies in the sector, earning high marks for his recently expanded monitoring of what he terms “information services.” In that segment clients are particularly pleased with Steinerman’s tracking of media and marketing data provider Nielsen, which is headquartered in New York. The researcher awarded Nielsen an overweight rating when he relaunched coverage last October, largely thanks to projected benefits from the company’s just-closed acquistion of Columbia, Maryland–based radio analytics provider Arbitron. Sure enough, by the middle of September, the stock had advanced 24.2 percent, to $44.40, besting U.S. media names by 9.5 percentage points. Clients also praise the J.P. Morgan Ultimate Services Investor Conference that Steinerman, 46, co-hosts with colleagues each November in Midtown Manhattan. The event “provides first-class access to managements of all the companies in the sector,” one attendee reports. Looking ahead, Steinerman recommends that clients overweight Jersey City, New Jersey’s Verisk Analytics, which supplies risk assessment and data analysis services to the finance, health care and insurance industries. Crediting in part the number cruncher’s rapid organic growth, he believes that Verisk can support a share price of $71; its stock closed at $64.26 in mid-September. “Andrew is among the most accessible analysts,” avers another supporter, “with constant updates on everything that matters.”
