The Scoop on North Carolina's
Top's 75 Public companies
|
|
|
|
Stocks got slammed as fears of a recession mounted.
It was a bloody year for investors in North Carolina public companies.
Shares of companies based in the state generally got slammed in the 12 months through June 30, perhaps an inevitable reversal after stunning advances in the previous year.
Only 12 of the 75 largest N.C.-based public companies reported higher share prices on July 1 than a year earlier. Thirty-three stocks declined at least 20%, including 12 that lost more than half of their value.
Five companies bucked the odds with gains topping 20%, including grocery chain Ingles Markets, beverage seller Coca-Cola Consolidated and building products distributor Cornerstone Building Brands, which is being acquired by a private equity company.
The bitter performance mirrored the overall stock market. The S&P 500 Index declined 21% during the first six months of the year, its worst first-half performance in more than five decades.
Blame for the selloff has many sources: inflation spiked to the fastest pace in decades, prompting the Federal Reserve to aggressively ratchet up interest rates. Supply chain issues continue to disrupt many industries, while the ongoing war in Ukraine has contributed to higher food and energy prices. Many experts expect a recession. More Info
