How we select which companies

to rank

Webranking by Comprend ranks the largest companies in Europe based on market capitalization. The selection is based on the STOXX All Europe 800 list, from which we pick approximately the 700 largest companies to rank. 500 companies are included on the Europe 500 list and in some countries such as Sweden, Finland and UK we add additional companies, also based on market cap. 

How STOXX works

STOXX All Europe 800 include companies from the following countries across the continent: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and UK. STOXX also provides which ICB super sector the company belongs to. 

In the 2023-2024 Webranking season we have included approximately the 700 largest companies by market cap, according to STOXX, as of 1 April 2023. We update the company lists throughout the summer if a company is involved in possible mergers or delistings.

Country allocation

We have attempted to use distinctions of country allocations that are similar to the ones previously used by the Financial Times. As such, incorporation and markets listing tend to be the most prominent factors when allocating a company to a country. If a company is listed on several stock markets it can be included on multiple country lists.
