Along with the new recruits, the firm intends to increase its coverage of US stocks from 275 to over 500 by 2025, first concentrating on the consumer, healthcare, technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT), and industrials sectors.
The bank’s aggressive efforts to increase the number of analysts, sector specialists, traders, sales traders, and salespeople it employs support this expansion of coverage for U.S. stocks.
Currently, the team covers more than 966 stocks worldwide.
After a fruitful 17-year collaboration, BNP Paribas purchased 100% of Exane in 2021, and in November of the same year, the company introduced BNP Paribas Exane in the United States. Since then, the bank has matched its global markets platform with BNP Paribas Exane’s offering.
