Premium contentWe reiterate this independent investment banking firm that provides strategic advisory, capital markets, and wealth management services to corporations, financial sponsors, and high-net-worth individuals as a TOP PICK. Revenue growth has averaged 36% annually over the past two years and EPS has grown 70% annually as well. Cash reserves are growing as shares are aggressively bought back -- albeit with slightly higher debt. We continue to recommend a stop at $282, looking to achieve $410 -- upside potential of 18%. Yield 1.0%
(Analysts’ price target is $378.89)

Companies have been working their way through dividend increases and share buybacks and still have very strong balance sheets. As the economy is getting a little better, we are seeing a big pick up in mergers and acquisitions. This is a company that is very specialized in mergers and acquisitions and corporate finance. About 90% of their revenue is there. A leader in the industry.
