Brand Index Methodology
The Morning Consult Brand Index is an indicator of brand strength among consumers. Each Fortune 500 company receives a score based on a ratio of favorable to unfavorable impressions among U.S. adults and its overall favorability. This ensures that a score takes into account how well-liked a company is among people who have an opinion of it without penalizing companies that are not consumer-facing.
Morning Consult polls thousands of adults across the country each week. The surveys are conducted online using large, established online survey vendors. The data is weighted to approximate a nationally representative sample based on age, race/ethnicity, gender, educational attainment, region, annual household income, home ownership status and marital status.
A distributor of pharmaceutical and medical products, Cardinal climbed one spot on this year’s 500 thanks to a 7% jump in sales. While business was brisk, weak pricing of generic drugs and the loss of a contract with Safeway led to a 10% loss in profits in 2017. Like its competitors, Cardinal has come under fire–and faces a bevy of lawsuits–for its alleged role in the nation’s opioid epidemic.
