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.
When 2018 began, GE shareholders must have wondered if things could possibly get any worse. They soon found out. Years of poor capital allocation and mismanagement were catching up with GE; the stock lost almost half its value in 2017 and then lost more than half in 2018. In desperation, CEO John Flannery began selling assets, planning to pare the company down to its jet engine and electric power businesses. But in October he abruptly retired, succeeded by former Danaher CEO Larry Culp. Adding insult to injury: The Dow Jones Industrial Average booted GE as a component after 110 years.
