Top Pick From Street’s Top Analyst

Forget the Oscars, we’ve got Wall Street’s top analyst for 2010. What’s the number one pick from the number one guy?

For three years the Financial Times and StarMine have presented awards to all the analysts who performed best in their sectors.

But we know you’re not looking for insights from someone good – you want great.

And in a Fast Money exclusive we spoke with 2010’s highest rated earnings estimator overall in the US, as well as in his sector – none other than Simon Leopold of Morgan Keegan.

And he brings us not one but two of his favorite names.

COMMSCOPE (CTV)

Key Points

-Largest Maker of Antennas for Cellular Networks

-India Exposure: Huge Wireless Subscriber Growth

-Strong Enterprise Spending

"It’s sort of a hidden play on the mobility theme," explains Leopold. "They’re the number one maker of antennas for towers."

CISCO (CSCO)

Key Points

-Robust Forecast, Strong Secular Growth Story

-Newer Products Making Material Contributions to Earnings

-No Signs of Meaningful Threats from HPQ and IBM

"The sell-off in this name is overdone," says Leopold. "At below 15 times I think this is a good entry point for a quality name."
