• Peter Benedict

The ranking was based on the analysts’ ability to generate return with their stock ratings and price targets.

Each rating made during 2019 was measured over a time-frame of 3 months.

"We are proud of our analysts’ commitment to covering a wide range of sectors and companies, and this accolade highlights the caliber of their talent. Congratulations to all on this immense achievement." said David Tarantino, Baird's Director of Equity Research.

In addition to this accolade, two Baird analysts were recently honored as top research analysts on TipRanks’ list of Top 25 Wall Street analysts of the decade.
