Locating Industry Information
To find information on an Industry click on the Industries tab at the top of the site. On the Industries main page you can use the drop-down menus to access the Industry Surveys or Sub-Industry Review publications. If you would like to learn about the industry in which a particular company operates, you can retrieve the appropriate Industry Survey or Sub-Industry Review by using the "Search by Company" tool and entering a ticker symbol or company name.
Companies are associated with only one industry or sub-industry group. If a company operates in multiple industries, it is typically assigned to the industry and sub-industry from which it generates the majority of its revenues. If Standard & Poor's does not publish an industry survey on a company's assigned industry, a company name or ticker symbol search will not produce any results.
