THIRD TEAM

Philip Winslow Jr.  Credit Suisse

Philip Winslow Jr. moves up one rung to third place. The Credit Suisse analyst “was the first to recommend Oracle — now everyone is following him,” quips one buy-side backer. Winslow reinstated coverage on Oracle Corp. with an outperform rating in February 2010, at $23.50, and highlighted the call in October, at $27.81, telling clients that the Redwood City, California–based enterprise software developer “is uniquely positioned to increase server performance and lower storage hardware costs.” The stock had zipped to $28.07 by the end of August, for a gain of 19.4 percent over the life of the call that outpaced the sector by 13.6 percentage points. Winslow remains bullish.
