The Inside Wall Street Scorecard

Below are the 172 stocks featured in Inside Wall Street during 1997. For each stock, we've recorded the last closing price before the column became public. In almost all cases, this is a Thursday price. Then, using that closing price as a base, we computed one-day, one-month, three-month, and six-month percentage returns. When any of those periods fell on a weekend, the prior Friday's closing price was used. When there was no Thursday trading, we used Wednesday's closing price. When there was no trading in a specific stock on a measurement date, we used the next trading day's price. All prices have been adjusted for stock splits. The Thursday close is 11 days before the issue date.
