Research Capabilities
Stifel research focuses on all market caps, but is a leader in small- and mid-cap research. The department is staffed predominately with industry professionals from outside Wall Street. In fact, many of its analysts have hands-on work experience in the industry that they research. Stifel believes industry experience, its opportunistic approach, and broad market cap coverage drive excess returns and its award-winning franchise.
Stifel Equity Research Teams ranked No. 3 and earned a total of 18 awards in the 2018 Thomson Reuters Analyst Awards. Stifel earned five #1 rankings and has had 12 consecutive top ten finishes.
Stifel focuses on 12 sectors, covering more than 1,600 companies, and has the nation's largest U.S. equity research platform.
