<<Business Week Introduces The Business Week 50; All-New Rankings Of Best Performing Companies
NEW YORK (March 14) BUSINESS WIRE -March 14, 1997-- What makes a top
corporate performer? Who's the best across the corporate landscape --
and who's the best within each industry? BUSINESS WEEK introduces this
week the BUSINESS WEEK 50, an all-new way of looking at corporate
performance.
Deploying a range of key growth measures that investors and managers
alike use to judge operating and financial performance, BUSINESS WEEK ranked the companies of the Standard & Poor's 500 index. At the top
are the BUSINESS WEEK 50, led by: Intel (No. 1), Microsoft (No. 2),
Dell Computer (No.3), Cisco Systems (No. 4), and Travelers Group (No.
5), Merck (No. 6), Nike (No. 7), Compaq Computer (No. 8), MBNA (No.9), and Pfizer (No. 10).
Unlike other best-of-lists, which rank sheer size, BUSINESS WEEK's new
ranking captures the dynamism and growth that are at the core of any
successful company. BUSINESS WEEK weighed eight criteria in all:
revenue growth, earnings growth, and total returns, each measured over
one-year and three-year time spans, plus net margins and return on
equity. BUSINESS WEEK gave each of the S&P 500 companies a report card
for each of the criteria, and then combined the results to determine
the final rankings. >>>>
