Runs (Recommendation
Performance)
A run is a time period during
which the
particular recommendation was maintained.
#RECOM:
The number of buy and sell
recommendations made by the analyst for
the company in the last five years.
WIN% (Win Percentage): The
percent of the
recommendations that outperformed an
equal weighted industry index.
The WIN% is a measure of the
analyst's
ability to identify stocks that have superior
or inferior performance compared to that of
the industry. The WIN% gives credit to both
buy and sell ratings if, subsequent to the
rating, the stock performs as predicted in
relation to its industry's group's equal
weighted index. It is not meant to measure
the magnitude of a stock's' performance in
relation to that of the industry, rather the
degree to which the direction of the
analyst's rating was accurate.

EXC: An approximation of a

the difference between the average return

of the its industry for the period of the
