    About the Thomson Reuters StarMine Analyst Awards: Based on StarMine methodology, the Thomson Reuters StarMine Analyst Awards objectively measure the performance of analysts based on the returns of their buy/sell recommendations and the accuracy of their earnings estimates. The 2016 stock picking awards for the United States are based on the 2016 calendar-year performance of recommendations. The 2016 awards for estimating accuracy are based on quarterly periods that reported between 01 April 2015 and 31 March 2016. (For most companies, this is FQ-Mar-2015, FQ-Jun-2015, FQ-Sep-2015, and FA-Dec-2015.) Only analyst performance on companies that are based in the United States is included in the awards calculations.
