The OTCQX Best 50 is an annual ranking of the top 50 U.S. and international companies traded on the OTCQX Best Market, based on an equal weighting of one-year total return and average daily dollar volume growth.  Companies in the 2019 OTCQX Best 50 were ranked based on their performance during the 2018 calendar year. 

"We congratulate this year's OTCQX Best 50 companies on this recognition and for the diligence and commitment they share in providing the optimum levels of transparency and disclosure to their respective investor base," said Jason Paltrowitz, Director, OTC Markets Group International Ltd. and EVP, Corporate Services.  "The diversity of the 2019 OTCQX Best 50 demonstrates the value of the premium OTCQX Market to provide tangible benefits and drive value to the broadest array of companies spanning all sizes, industries and geographic regions, from well-capitalized US community banks to Mega-Cap foreign exchange-listed Global brands." 

2019 OTCQX Best 50 Results
2019 OTCQX Best 50 companies traded an aggregate $19.3 billion in dollar volume in 2018.  The companies delivered to investors an average total return of 21%.
