From a very thorough review of SEC filings and the excellent Google Finance website, I found 7 Idaho Headquartered Companies with either a current January 21, 2015 stock market capitalization, or a stock market capitalization on the date when they were sold since October 2013, of at least $100 mil, and also with their common stock trading on December 31, 2007.
These 7 Idaho Companies generated an equally-company weighted average stock market price increase of a spectacularly off-the-charts 989% for the five years and ten months since March 6, 2009 through today's close January 15, 2015 or on the date the companies were sold.
Of these 7 Idaho Companies, 3 of them were sold since October 2013, including the truly exceptional manufacturer of packaging and paper product company Boise Inc, which was acquired by Chicago, IL area Packaging Corp of America, which has seen its own stock market price increase by an exceptional 725% from March 6, 2009 to January 21, 2015.
Idaho Citizens have to be very pleased with their exceptional Idaho Companies stock market price appreciation.
Below here are the stock market prices of each of these 7 Idaho Companies on three dates:
- on January 21, 2015 or on the date they were sold
- on March 6, 2009, which was the stock market low after the aftershocks of the 2008 financial meltdown
- and on December 31, 2007, which was before the 2008 financial meltdown
