BusinessWeek Rates Top 50 Companies
BusinessWeek recently came up with their BusinessWeek 50 list, which represents their choice of the “best in class” companies from the 10 economic sectors that make up the S&P 500. Essentially, BusinessWeek has short-listed companies based on 2 main factors;
* Average return on capital and sales growth
* A comparative analysis of companies with peers in their sectors
Personally I find this methodology of ranking quite interesting because it allows comparatively smaller companies to rank well against traditionally ‘bigger’ firms which are in other ‘profitable’ sectors. A quick look at the top 10 list will surely convey my feeling. There are many companies in the top 10 which I was quite surprised to find there, and even companies which I had never heard of earlier. Although, my guess of Google being numero uno was quite bang on! (Seems Big ‘G’ wants to be #1 everywhere!)
