Company Current Wealth

Value Proposition Elevator Pitches
The TJX Companies has superior inventory management, a powerhouse global buyer network, and consistent financial performance.
NIKE’s Swoosh is the moat, and it’s as wide as the logo is famous.
Williams-Sonoma’s high-quality brand and growing omnichannel storefronts remain a favorite among an affluent and loyal customer base.
DICK’S Sporting Goods is the primary sporting goods retailer in its local markets and often the only game in town.
Penske Automotive Group is a fabulously run, enduring enterprise and a favorite among customers and employees. Its highly competitive value proposition stands out in the crowded automotive marketplace.
Amazon enjoys retail market dominance, including the ever-growing reliance of large businesses on AWS, consumers and small businesses on Prime, and authors and book buyers on KDP.
