Krasnodar, 2014-7-17 — /EPR Retail News/ — OJSC “Magnit”, Russia’s largest food retailer (MICEX and LSE ticker: MGNT) tops the Boston Consulting Group’s (BCG) 2014 List of Value Creators ranking of “The Retail Top Ten” (see chart below). Magnit ranked #1 on list “The Retail Top Ten”, with an average annual TSR of 72.2% ahead of such global retailers as Whole Foods (#2), Starbucks (#6) and Amazon (#9).
The BCG Value Creators rankings are based on Total Shareholder Return (TSR) at 1,620 global companies from 2009 through 2013. To arrive at this sample, BCG began with TSR data for nearly 10,000 companies provided by Thomson Reuters. It eliminated all companies that were not listed on a world stock exchange for the full five years of BCG’s study or did not have at least 25 percent of their shares available on public capital markets. BCG further refined the sample by organizing the remaining companies into 26 industry groups and establishing an appropriate market-valuation hurdle to eliminate the smallest companies in each industry.
