The manufacturing conglomerate appears on eight short lists, more than any other company, including best IR professional (large cap), best IR by a CEO (large cap) and best IR by a CFO (large cap).
United Technologies is close behind in second place, appearing on six short lists, including the grand prix for best overall investor relations (large cap).
Honeywell and Express Scripts follow behind with five nominations each, while HealthSouth, last year’s overall winner Covidien, and Qualcomm each make four short lists.
