Market cap and total return leaders

The region’s powerhouses and big producers are sparkling with projects for the future. Most of the companies’ stock-and-dividend returns were down.

 

ROHM & HAAS CO.

100 Independence Mall West, Philadelphia

215-592-3000

www.rohmhaas.com

Founded 1907

Chairman/CEO: Raj L. Gupta

NYSE: ROH

Market cap: $10.53 billion *

Stock-div return one year: 7.4 percent **

 

Rohm & Haas materials are found in everything from electronics to paint. It supplies materials and fabrication services for printed circuit boards used in computers, cell phones, automobiles and other devices. It markets materials for LCD and plasma displays, bio-processing, advanced water treatment. It even offers table and specialty salts for water conditioning, ice control, food processing.

The Chatter: The company's failed effort to sell its Morton Salt unit turned out to be a blessing: Bad weather drove up demand for ice-control products, and the weak dollar helped boost salt sales overseas. That helped make it one of the few big regional companies to show a gain in total return.
