Four contests with the same rules as each stock page: profit kept from sales (higher wins), yearly sales growth across the last reports, up to five years (higher wins), price per unit of yearly profit (lower P/E wins; a company without profit loses) and debt in years of earnings (lower wins). A winner is only named when both companies have the number.
