Top100 Stellar Didata pick of the royals this year This year, royal status is awarded to Dimension Data , Coronation and Profurn . But all the praise should go to Didata , the computer group listed 13 years ago. The listing of royal status is bestowed on companies that have appeared in the top 20 of the Top 100 ratings for three years running.
Royal status implies outstanding share price returns for investors, year in and year out.
Given last year's slump it is not surprising that five of 1999's six royals - BoE, Saambou , African Life, Fashion Africa and Spescom have dropped out of the Top 20.
