Equity Research

Research Team

With more than 80 industry research analysts and associates, Raymond James fields one of the larger research organizations in the brokerage industry (among the top 15 of all U.S. brokerage firms, according to Thomson Financial). Our fundamental research effort is complemented by macro research from our well known economic, strategic, and technical experts. On average, RJ&A research analysts possess nine years of sell-side experience, and many have extensive prior experience in the industries they now cover. In addition, many of our analysts and associates have earned their CFA or other professional designation.

Our research analysts seek attractive niches within broader industries and then cover these sectors deeply to develop differentiated sector expertise and relationships. While our focus is middle- and small-capitalization companies, our go deep philosophy typically results in RJ&A coverage of large, medium, and small companies across the sector. Our research philosophy is further distinguished by our supply chain approach. Many of our analysts and industry groups have constructed coverage universes that include the complete supply chain for that industry: key suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors. We believe these approaches contribute to our goal of providing investors with the information they need to make the fully informed, yet timely investment decisions that lead to long-term capital appreciation.
