JULY 10--According to the investor magazine BÖRSE ONLINE in its latest analysis of 560 German corporations quoted on the stock market, ISRA VISION (Darmstadt, Germany), a supplier of industrial image-processing technology, is the strongest-growing technology stock in Germany. The stock-market experts wanted to find out which German companies "continuously reach new peaks of performance without doctoring the balance sheet." The Munich-based magazine's extensive data archive was researched according to three criteria: Sufficient history--only companies with a profit series stretching back to 1998 were taken into account; No losses--the organizations had to have recorded profits throughout the period under review. This was a hurdle that only 123 of the 560 organizations were able to clear; and Only one year of reduction in profits--the journalists filtered out all corporations that had a reduction in profits on more than one occasion. This left only 37 companies from the original 560.
Only a group of ten organizations recorded an unbroken series of profit increases. Alongside ISRA VISION, these were Altana, Beiersdorf, Bijou Brigitte, Celsio, Grenkeleasing, Porsche, Puma, Rational, and Rhön-Klinikum. The complete evaluation of the database resulted in the following order: ISRA VISION took third place in the overall standings behind Puma and H & R Wasag with an average increase in growth of 52% from 1998 to 2005. This makes ISRA--according to the criteria of the Deutsche Börse (German Stock Exchange)--the strongest-growing technology stock in the BÖRSE ONLINE analysis.
