Baldrige Stock Study 2001 - Results of 1990-1999 Baldrige Award Recipients 10-Year Common Stock Comparison


Results of 1990-1999 Baldrige Award Recipients 10-Year Common Stock Comparison

Methodology:

A hypothetical sum was invested in each of the 1990-1999, publicly-traded Baldrige Award recipient's common stock, in the year they applied for the Award. The investment was tracked from the first business day of the month following the announcement of the Award recipients, (or the date when they began public trading, if it is later) through December 1, 2000. $1,000 was invested in each whole company, and for subsidiaries the sum invested was $1,000 multiplied by the percent of the whole company's employee base the subunit represented at the time of its application. The same total dollar amount was invested in the Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 on the same day. If a subunit was sold to another parent company, or if a company divested or merged, it was the subunit whose progress was followed, not the parent company's progress. The value of the original stock at the time of sale was determined and that dollar amount was reinvested in the new parent company.Adjusting for stock splits, the value on December 1, 2000 was calculated. Information is reported two ways: all publicly-traded Award recipients and only whole company Baldrige Award recipients. The 24 publicly-traded Award recipients, as a group, outperformed the S&P 500 by approximately 4.2 to 1, achieving a 685.26% return compared to a 163.11% return for the S&P 500. The group of five, publicly traded, whole company Award recipients outperformed the S&P 500 by 4.4 to 1, achieving a 764.84% return compared to a 173.34% return for the S&P 500. A summary of the results follows.

Results of 1990-1999 Baldrige Site Visited Applicants10-Year Common Stock Comparison

Methodology:

A hypothetical sum was invested in each 1990-1999 publicly-traded, site visited applicant's common stock in the year they applied for the Award or in the year they became public. (The site visited applicant group includes Baldrige Award recipients.) The investment was tracked from the first business day of the month following the announcement of the Baldrige Award recipients (or the date when they began public trading, if it is later) through December 1, 2000. $1,000 was invested in each whole site visited company. For subsidiaries, the sum invested was $1,000 x the percent of the parent company's employee base the subunit represented at the time they received a site visit or at the time they became public as a result of a merger or acquisition by a new parent. The same total dollar amount was invested in the S&P 500 on the same day.

Adjusting for stock splits, the value on December 1, 2000 was calculated. Information is reported two ways: all publicly-traded site visited applicants and only whole company site visited applicants. (Note: a company may be included multiple times if they received more than one site visit. Site visited applicants include those receiving an Award.)

The 70 publicly-traded site visited applicants, as a group, outperformed the S&P 500 by approximately 2.1 to 1 achieving a 321.80% return compared to a 153.54% return for the S&P 500. The group of 13 whole company site visited applicants outperformed the S&P 500 by almost 2 to 1, achieving a 312.39% return compared to a 158.12% return for the S&P 500. Names of Baldrige applicants are kept confidential. A summary of the results follows.

[NOTE: In the future, NIST will no longer include site-visited applicants in this study. ]
