Financial Directions - Volatility of big business exposed.
(From Financial Director)
The study* by Ernst & Young and Oxford Metrica tracks share price movements of Global 1000 companies over the past five years and analyses why companies experience sudden, major losses or gains in market value. The analysis concentrates on the top 100 increases or decreases relative to the market.
