* The offerings in this chart include only those that were completed on U.S. stock exchanges from Jan. 1 to July 31, 2006.

# After-market performance is expressed as the percent change in stock price between the offering price and the closing price on 7/31/06. For underwriters with multiple offerings, the after-market performance (as a percent change) was calculated for each stock in that underwriter's "group," the percentage summed and then averaged.
