"All the major Wall Street firms we cover here at 24/7 Wall St. have a list of top stock picks for their institutional and retail clients to invest in. Typically, these are companies that analysts have a high level of conviction in and feel strongly about their fundamentals and forward-looking prospects. In addition, they often have a substantial upside to the assigned price target and have either a Buy or Overweight rating, depending on the company providing the coverage."
"The U.S. Analyst Focus List is updated monthly. Names may be removed mid-month when a valuation target has been largely or wholly achieved, or the original rationale is no longer valid. New ideas can also be added mid-month. Analysts will publish the explanation for all mid-month changes in a research note."
