PCI/Gazelles Index

The PCI/Gazelles Index is a 10 company subset of the PCI portfolio that features the top growth firms of 2007—as measured by the percent change in '07 revenues over '06. Analysts will measure performance trends from this targeted high-growth group, known globally as ‘Gazelles,’ throughout 2008.

The PCI/Gazelles Index is tracked  monthly, plotted against the overall PCI computation and announced to media, financial and informational partners.

March 2008 Index Update:

Interestingly, the PCI/Gazelles Group saw a 4% decline from February to March, during a period when the overall PCI portfolio saw an increase of that amount.
(Note the purple line on the graph at right.)

Analysts indicate the cause for the decline stems from monthly revenue downturns in two of the very large ($50 - 100 Million) companies and the ony moderate growth witnessed (1-4%) in three others. Being a cross-industry sub index, there is no blanket reason for this other than an overall spending slow-down.
