BW's Performance Rankings of the S&P 500 (.pdf) These tables provide a report card on the S&P 500 companies using eight measures: total returns (1- and 3-year), sales growth (1- and 3-year), profit growth (1- and 3-year), net margins, and return on equity. The table is sorted in order of ranking from No. 1 through No. 500 and includes the industry group each company is in. To preserve the exact look of this Table as it appears in the magazine, it has been saved in Adobe's Acrobat portable document file (.pdf) format. So it must be downloaded, then viewed with the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
