In a new report, Imperial Capital analyst Andrew Casella breaks down the firm’s top 13 best stock ideas. Here’s a summary of Imperial’s stock picks.

Imperial names American its top airline pick and believes that the recent sell-off is overdone considering the record profits expected for the company in Q2 and throughout the rest of 2015.
Ascent Capital Group Inc ASCMA

Callaway Golf Co ELY
Imperial believes that Callaway’s management can grow earnings even if the golf equipment category remains flat overall.
Cenveo, Inc. CVO
Now that the company has moved past its integration-related issues, Imperial believes it will be able to deliver a “much improved” 2015.

Despite the recent run-up in share price, analysts believe that Eldorado is poised to move higher on growing operating results on the way in the second half of the year.
Gastar Exploration Inc GST

Imperial sees the stock’s decline following its Fresh Frozen recall as a buying opportunity for investors with a long-term investment outlook.
