2007 “Top Picks for Small Cap Research”
Baird ranked first among 20 firms chosen by Integrity Research Associates, which evaluated 223 small-cap research specialists. Rankings were based, in part, on a survey of buy-side analysts, who cited Baird's financial models and research as among the deepest and best available in the small- and mid-cap space. Clients surveyed for the report also commented on Baird's industry contacts and unique insights on both individual companies and larger industry trends.

The Wall Street Journal Annual Analysts Survey
Since 1993, Baird has been well represented on The Wall Street Journal’s list of the industry’s top analysts. In 2007, five Baird analysts were named among the ‘Best on the Street,” including four who have been honored in the past. Baird ranked No. 10 overall in the survey for the total number of awards received in 2007 and its high “batting average,” which is the number of awards received divided by the number of eligible analysts.

StarMine Awards for Best Brokerage Analysts
A total of 12 Baird analysts were honored in the 2006 StarMine awards, which have seen representation from Baird every year since their inception in 2001. “The Best Brokerage Analysts” survey results for 2006 performance showed Baird tied for seventh based on the total number of awards won. Results are published each year on Forbes.com.
