Tech stocks returned maximum value to investors in last 5 years: BCG
Eight out of the top 10 value-creation stocks compiled by BCG came from technology or semiconductor industries. Nvidia (NVDA) and Netflix (NFLX) bagged the top two spots in the list, in which companies were merited on the basis of the stocks’ total shareholder return (TSR) for the five year period between 2013 and 2017.
Unsurprisingly, chipmaker Nvidia tops the list with a five-year TSR of 76.1%, closely followed by streaming giant Netflix with 70.7%. This means these two companies returned maximum returns to shareholders in the past five years making investors richer faster. Trailing a bit behind is Broadcom (AVGO) at rank 3 with a TSR of 54.6%.

Amazon (AMZN) and Chinese beverage company Kweichow Moutai are the sole representatives of other industries in the top 10, at the eighth and tenth spots respectively. Other major US tech firms to feature in the list of 50 companies include Adobe Systems (ADBE) in the ninth spot, Microsoft (MSFT) in the 20th spot, Altaba (AABA) at 21 and Alphabet (GOOGL) at 36.
