The PBR1000 Monthly Update Report for January has some additional supplemental reports available regarding stock performance during 2013, as well as a Marketing Capitalization report. As you can see, it was a banner year for Wall Street and it was hard to pick a losing stock.
As a reminder, The PBR1000 is a data set on over 1,000 of the largest publicly held companies with principal offices in the US. These companies generated $13 trillion in worldwide revenues in 2012. The data set is published monthly as The PBR1000 Monthly Update Report in Microsoft Excel format.
Here are some summaries and comments on the supplemental reports:
– Report 1: The PBR1000 by Stock % Change for the 4th Quarter, 2013. There are 1,073 companies in this report. During this quarter the stock prices of 4 companies more than doubled, 8 companies increased 50% to 100%, 88 companies 25%to 50%, 392 companies 10% to 25%, 395 companies 0% to 10%, 133 companies 0% to -10%, 43 companies from -10% to -25%, 6 companies from -25% to -50%, 4 companies from -50% to -74%. In summary, 887 companies had an increase in stock price, 186 a decrease. For the quarter the stock price increased 5.70% for the whole data set.
– Report 2: The PBR1000 by Stock % Change 12/31/12 to 12/31/13. There are 1,066 companies in this report. The stock prices of 2 companies increased by over 10 times for the year, Fannie Mae(PBR11) and Freddie Mac(PBR32). Much of this gain was at the end of the year when some heavy investors took the plunge. It should also be noted that AMR Corp, the predecessor organization for new American Airlines Group(PBR108) before its coming out of bankruptcy and merger with US Airways, also had the stock increase by over 10 times. 9 companies had increases of over 250%, 48 companies from 100% to 250%, 260 companies from 50% to 100%, 358 companies from 25% to 50%, 211 companies from 10% to 25%, 87 companies from 0% to 10%, 40 companies from 0% to -10%, 27 companies from -10% to -25%, 27 companies from -25% to -50%, 9 companies from -50% to almost -93%(Exide Technologies(PBR635)). For the 1,066 companies, the overall stock price increased a dramatic 33.13% for the year. A quick summary: Out of 1,066 companies, 973 were above 0%, 93 below. I hope you were in the majority!
– Report 3: By Market Capitalization(MC) on 12/31/13. For The PBR1000 the total MC of 1,073 companies on 12/31/13 was $19.395 trillion. The only company with MC over $500 billion was, of course, Apple(PBR6) at $504 billion. 7 companies had MC from $250 billion to $500 billion, 28 companies from $100 billion to $250 billion, 47 companies from $50 billion to $100 billion, 87 companies from $25 billion to $50 billion, 213 companies from $10 billion to $25 billion, 690 companies with a MC of less than $10 billion.
– Report 4: By Stock Price on 12/31/13. For the 1,074 companies in this report the stock price ranged from $ .24/share for Exide Technologies(PBR635) to, guess who, Berkshire Hathaway(PBR5) at $177,900.00/share. Distribution was as follows: 50 companies with share prices up to $10.00, 169 companies from $10.00 to $25.00/share, 348 companies from $25.00 to $50.00/share, 387 companies from $50.00 to $100.00/share, 97 companies from $100.00 to $250.00/share, 12 companies from $250.00 to $500.00, 6 companies from $500.00 to $1,000.00/share, 4 companies from $1,000.00 to $2,800.00, and, once again, the monstrous Berkshire Hathaway.
It will be interesting to see which companies will rise to the top during 2014 as investment opportunities. The PBR1000 reports can certainly be a useful tool to provide some helpful information for investors to see where the bargains and opportunities are. With stock information as well as a lot of financial information and news briefs, The PBR1000 is also a great tool to help executives, sales and marketing professionals target the best opportunities, compare companies and industries, get bios on key management, and see news highlights.
