Star Tribune 100

The Star Tribune 100 is a measure of the largest publicly held companies with headquarters in Minnesota ranked by revenue. Data presented also include each company's total profits from continuing operations, assets and market capitalization (taken on March 30). The research excludes closely held companies, which usually do not disclose financial data; cooperatives and fraternal benefits organizations, and local over-the-counter stocks.
