The Economist ranks Sberbank second after Apple among the best stocks of
the past decade
February 16, 2012, Moscow - Sberbank was ranked second among the best
stocks of the past decade by The Economist. The magazine's calculations
show that every $100 invested ten years ago in Sberbank's stocks today
would give an income of $3772.
Only Apple ranks higher ($3919). The remaining top ten companies are far
behind the two leaders. The third line is occupied by oil company
ConocoPhillips with profitability below $1400.
Apart from Sberbank, there's only one bank among the top ten companies -
Banco do Brasil ($1150).
The rating covered performance of the world's largest 200 companies.
Sberbank's strategic goal is to be included in the ten biggest banks in the
world by capitalization by 2014.
In 2011 Sberbank was recognized to be the most expensive Russian brand
(BrandFinance(R) Global 500 2011) and ranked 9th among the safest banks in
Central and Eastern Europe (research by Global Finance). In addition,
Sberbank became the only Russian bank to be included in the World's Biggest
Companies 2010 rating (Forbes ranked Sberbank 256th among the world's
biggest companies) and in the World's Strongest Banks ranking (20th place
