Our annual interactive listing of Canada's largest publicly traded tech companies with new and interactive features!

Mar. 31, 2008 Update | Dec. 31, 2007 Update

Welcome to the Tech 100, our listing of Canada’s largest-publicly traded technology companies.

The key determinants of our rankings are market capitalization and trailing 12-month net sales. But we have also included performance and return data to provide a more rounded perspective of the value of these important Canadian technology companies.

Under Performance you’ll find trailing 12-month net sales, 1-year sales change, trailing 12-month profit/loss, profit as a percentage of sales and trailing 12-month EPS data. Share price, 1-year total return and market capitalization make up the return data.

The performance and return tables can be emailed, printed or downloaded into a spreadsheet. Companies can be ranked according to each variable simply by clicking on the column header. Custom views can be created for selected variables.

We hope you use the Tech 100 rankings when researching tech stocks. Good luck!


The Tech 100 ranking is updated quarterly.
