2008 Firm Rankings
Firm by Firm: Tally of Awards Won by Top 21 of 65 Firms
Firms are ranked according to the total number of Best on the Street awards their analysts earned. Ties were broken by "batting averages," which are each firm's number of awards divided by the number of analysts it had who qualified for the survey. In the case of remaining ties, the firms are listed alphabetically. There were 220 awards this year, or five in each of 44 industry groups. The number of "awards" and "qualifying analysts" include some counted in more than one sector.
