1. Rising stars of equity research.

For a third consecutive year, Insider reporters canvassed their sources to identify the rising stars of equity research. This year's list includes 17 sell-side analysts who are 35 and under. The group hails from big and small shops and covers a variety of sectors. 

You can check out the 2021 list here and the 2022 list here.
