Call it the revenge of the Old Economy. Dennis Kozlowski steered industrial conglomerate Tyco International to the No.1 spot, posting 27% sales growth and 149% earnings growth with a hodgepodge of businesses. Now, a slowing economy has Kozlowski on the prowl for companies he can snap up at bargain prices. Meanwhile, Applied Materials, the biggest maker of gear for producing computer chips, jumped to No.5, with a hefty 76% climb in sales and a healthy 30.5% return on equity. Who said widgets were boring?
