* The offerings in this chart include only those that were completed on U.S. stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE or AMEX) from Jan. 1 - Sept. 28, 2012.

Note: Rankings in each chart are made for the purpose of listing underwriters starting with the highest amount raised or highest average percent change. All figures are rounded for the chart. In some cases, multiple underwriters performed exactly the same and are, therefore, ranked alphabetically.
