Wall Street analysts are tasked with digging deep into individual companies and emerging with bold, directional forecasts that help investors make money.

We've rounded up the 10 people who do this best within the technology sector based on data from TipRanks, a research firm that tracks sell-side analysts and their recommendations.

The firm's ranking is based on two yardsticks. The first is success rate, which measures how many of an analyst's ratings lead to positive returns. And the second is the average return across an analyst's stock picks.

In other words, an investor who followed these analysts' recommendations a year ago would have reaped plump profits by now.

The analysts are listed below with details of their most recent "buy" recommendation as captured by Bloomberg. They appear in ascending order of their TipRanks rating.
