New York, July 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Analyst Hub, LLC, an independent research infrastructure platform company that provides talented sell-side analysts a path to owning their own enterprises, today announced the launch of Sankey Research (www.sankeyresearch.com) and its addition to the Analyst Hub platform. Led by consistently highly-ranked oil analyst, Paul Sankey, the research shop will cover the oil & gas industries and aspires to cover the extended horizontal of oil-related businesses, as well as trading and consultancy services in the oil vertical.
Sankey brings nearly 30 years of experience in the oil industry to his new firm and is well known for publishing the popular daily notes for energy investors “Morning Sankey” and “Sunday Sankey”. He has been consistently recognized as a top analyst by Institutional Investor, Greenwich Associates and Bloomberg. Sankey has been a Managing Director covering oil at Deutsche Bank, Wolfe Research and most recently, Mizuho. Before his time on Wall Street, Sankey worked as an oil consultant for Wood Mackenzie, and began his career covering oil for the International Energy Agency (IEA) after graduating from Manchester University.
Styling himself as the “analyst as activist”, seeing a “Renaissance in US E&P” from improved corporate governance and strategy, Sankey was the first major analyst to call for negative oil prices when COVID-19 began impacting world markets. He is known for tagging the premium oil company EOG Resources as “The Apple of Oil”, ExxonMobil as “The Big Unit” and the past decade of US refining success “The Diamond Age of refining”.
“It is a privilege to cover oil on Wall Street, and I am thrilled at the greater freedom and flexibility that being a fully independent analyst will allow,” commented Sankey. “With Analyst Hub, I can give analysis and investor service my full attention, thanks to the platform’s complete operational support and established compliance framework.”
