Boston Consulting Group has a tradition to publish annual rankings of best companies in terms of added value based on the total shareholder return (TSR) for the preceding five-year period.

The 2016 rating is based on the TSR analysis of about 2 thousand companies around the world from 2011 to 2015.

TSR shows income in the form of increase in share price and dividend payments for a certain period. This is the most comprehensive evaluation of increase in shareholder value.

Yearly average total shareholders return - is the average size of TSR that a company brings in each year of the analyzed five-year period.

As noted in the study, the maximum efficiency is very difficult to achieve, yet to maintain this level is the biggest challenge.

For 18 years, during which BCG has published its ‘Value Creators’ rating, the top ten with the highest capitalization hosted 89 companies.

However, more than half - a total of 46 companies - managed to do it only in a five-year period. In other words, they were able to get into the favorites, but had been excluded from it in subsequent years.

Only 19 companies (about 21% of the total) hit the top ten for three or more years.

Why is it so difficult to maintain maximum efficiency?

"Over time, efficiency of companies in the market, as a rule, is gradually reduced to average, - said Jeffrey Kotzen, senior partner and global leader of the shareholder value topic at The Boston Consulting Group.  - To become a leader on the size of the added value and to take a place in our top ten, a company need to significantly exceed the investors’ expectations. I do not mean that it should just exceed one or two points of the expected earnings in any one quarter. I'm talking about achieving results that are radically changing the business development path. To stay in the ranking, the company must do so over and over."

Companies, of course, can avoid gradual reduction in the average efficiency. However, it is extremely difficult to maintain high performance.

"Constant returns to the starting position are in the nature of capital markets, - says Frank Plaschke, BCG’s partner in Munich. - If a company cannot find a way to exceed the expectations of investors once again, not just meet them, it is unlikely that it will increase the TSR level ".
