Indiana Public Company of the Year finalists named
August 30 2016 - 9:15AM
The finalists for the 2016 Indiana Public Company of the Year have
been calculated, and the top performer will be unveiled and
recognized at an honors banquet Sept. 15 in conjunction with the
INVESTIndiana Equity Conference.
A special team examined the 2014-15 performance of
Indiana-headquartered public companies traded on the NASDAQ and
NYSE exchanges. A set of weighted, quantitative metrics was
applied to each company's comparative rankings on returns on assets
and equity, revenue growth, market performance and total
return.
"These top ten performers are driven by leadership focused on
doing what they do best as a company while pursuing appropriate
growth opportunities," said Terry McWilliams, chairman of
INVESTIndiana. "This excellence is visible whether these
companies are manufacturers, service providers or are involved in
other industry sectors providing solutions to clients and
customers."
