SECOND TEAM Kimberly Greenberger Morgan Stanley

Kimberly Greenberger moved from Citi to Morgan Stanley in September 2010 but hasn’t moved from the second tier, which she claims for a fifth consecutive year. Greenberger “understands the difference between a story and a real company,” observes one investor. The analyst advised clients to buy Limited Brands last October, at $28.66, because “structural upside to margins and return of cash to shareholders create a compelling total-return story.” Shares of the Columbus, Ohio–based operator of Bath & Body Works, Victoria’s Secret, White Barn Candle Co. and other specialty shops rang up gains of 31.7 percent, to $37.74, through August, besting the sector by 27.4 percentage points.
