The Sample of Good to Great
Companies
Start with 1,435 good companies. Examine their performance over
40 years. Then find the 11 companies that went from mediocre and
became great *.
The 11 good-to-great companies that Collins found averaged returns
6.9 times greater than the market’s—more than twice the
performance rate of General Electric under the legendary Jack
Welch.
Circuit City - 18.50x market Kroger - 4.17x market
The surprising Fannie Mae - 7.56x market Nucor Corp - 5.16x market
good-to-great Gillette - 7.39x market Wells Fargo - 3.99x market

One such surprise, the Kroger Co.—a grocery chain—bumped along
as a totally average performer for 80 years and then somehow broke
free of its mediocrity to beat the stock market by 4.16 times over
the next 15 years. And it didn't stop there. From 1973 to 1998,
Kroger outperformed the market by 10 times.
* 15 years of cumulative stock returns at or below market, then a transition
point followed by cumulative stock returns at least 3 times higher than the
market over the next 15 years
