Boston Consulting Group, an international consulting company, made a research and ranked global companies in terms of total shareholder return (TSR). The authors managed to find out that as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, companies from the United States returned world domination.

The TSR indicator consists of two parameters: the growth of the company’s stock prices and the dividends paid by it. This year, BCG analyzed the TSRs of the world’s leading companies in various sectors of the economy over the past five years, starting in 2016.

The first place in the global ranking was taken by the Canadian online store software company Shopify. Its TSR is 113 percent over the past five years. The American manufacturer of computer processors AMD was in second place with a score of 99.9 percent, the American service for receiving and processing payments Square took third place (75.5 percent).
