Kroll analyzed a price-weighted index of Chicago’s 30 largest publicly traded companies by market capitalization (the CHI30). The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is comprised of diversified companies and some of the largest in the U.S. ($204 billion median market cap vs. $28 billion median market cap of CHI30).
Key highlights from the report:
The CHI30 performed worse than the DJIA on most Q2 financial performance metrics, but CHI30 companies performed better than the DJIA in Q3
