These are the Two Companies that Made Top Shareholder Returns Over the Last 5 years

A new study from BCG has found that tech and media stocks provided the top returns for investors over the last five years.

Out of the 10 companies with the top returns, half of them are from Asia. The study also showed that two stocks in particular dominated the returns.

They are Netflix, and Nvidia.

The new global study nine companies that had the highest shareholder returns from the year 2013 to 2017 were in the tech and media arenas.

First on the list was Nvidia, then Netflix, then Broadcom, followed by Tencent in China, and social media giant Facebook.

“We have not seen such a dominance of effectively two sectors—technology and media and publishing—over the 20-year history” of this research, said Alexander Roos, a senior partner at BCG.

He added, “It clearly shows how technology, data and content have become the most critical resources for value creation.”

“The strong TSR performance of emerging Asian companies in the overall database suggests that the global large caps dominating the headlines today may be facing new challengers in coming years,” said Hady Farag, a BCG associate director.

“Take note of the up-and-coming companies around the world. They will likely be the next wave of new market entrants, competitors and acquirers.”
