The sixth edition of the “Top 100 most valuable companies in Romania” yearbook reveals declines for most of the companies assessed. Only 24 of the 100 have seen their value up against the preceding year, 16 companies are new entries, while the remaining 60 saw a decline in value.
The ranking has been put together, as every year, by Ziarul Financiar in collaboration with investment boutique Capital Partners, based on Trade Registry data and on stock exchange capitalizations.
OMV Petrom remains at the top of the ranking, with a capitalization of EUR3.7 billion on September 30 2011. Other top-ranking companies come from the telecom, energy and banking sectors, while the best-positioned industrial company comes in at no. 10 – Automobile Dacia, worth EUR1 billion, up 15% on last year.
The ranking is largely dominated by companies in the energy sector, banks, utility companies and retail, while industrial companies and FMCG players are few.
For the first time this year, Ziarul Financiar also presents the ranking of the 20 most valuable companies with Romanian shareholders. They are RCS&RDS (Zoltan Teszari), Banca Transilvania, and Interagro (Ioan Niculae).
Nine of the Romanian companies are featured in the top 100 most valuable companies.
The list of the remaining 11 ends with a company worth EUR61 million.
The value of Romanian companies in the top 100 has fallen by nearly EUR8 billion this year against 2010, to EUR48 billion.
