Euromoney’s first Latin American company ranking is based on a survey of market analysts at major banks and research institutes in Latin America. We received 57 replies. Respondents were asked to nominate the top three companies in each of the countries or sectors they covered, taking into account market strength, profitability, growth potential, quality of management and earnings.
Points were awarded on a scale of 4:3:2 for first-, second- and third-place nominations respectively. Companies’ results are presented as a percentage of total points received in each category, together with the number of companies that received points in each category. In total, we received nominations for 258 companies for all categories.
A number of other countries and industry sectors were included in the survey, but did not receive enough responses to be published.
