These tables show individual company performance relative to other companies in the industry. The returns are average compound annual total returns - including price changes and reinvestments from any dividends or other cash or noncash distributions - for periods throught year-end 2003. Also shown is the number of percentage points by which each company's performance beat or trailed the industry average. Within each industry, most companies are ranked on five-year returns; companies that haven't been publicly traded for at least five years are ranked on three-year or one-year returns, depending on how long they have been traded. Although published returns are rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage point, rankings are based on numbers carried out to at least seven decimal places. Rankings are by L.E.K. Consulting LLC, based on date from Dow Jones & Co., Media General Financial Services and SunGard Market Data Services.

Content taken in part from Dow Jones & Co's March 8, 2004 issue of The Wall Street Journal.
