The uptick in inflation is taking its toll on customer pricing power for companies today. Although still positive, sales growth continues to decline from its peak in early 2022. A pathway to higher pricing power and sales growth does exist, but it requires companies to better meet customer expectations across a myriad of critical needs. This report shows which companies have turned that corner already, and the others who are still struggling.

The W Report™ on the Most Competitive Companies is our quarterly analysis of today’s most popular companies based on their ability to meet customer expectations and generate pricing power. Rankings of the companies serve as a scorecard, providing unbiased data to benchmark competitive strength. See our research in Barron’s, Harvard Business Review, and the Wall Street Journal.
Methodology
To generate the rankings, we polled 6,802 customers online between March 18, 2024 and March 27, 2024 to measure their expectations against each company’s performance. Consumers are screened to determine their most recent customer status and responses are graded based on their data quality.
We have been a customer data source for the WSJ’s annual Top 250 Best Managed companies since their origin in 2017. View the portfolio results of our top 25 ranked companies here.
