About these peers

Who are Graham Holdings Co's peers and competitors?

Graham Holdings Co (GHC) is compared with 75 US-listed companies in the Consumer Services industry group, of which 44 have it as their primary business and 31 run a substantial Consumer Services business alongside something else.

How are these peers chosen?

Peers are every company that BQ-MICS, our own multi-industry classification system, places in the same industry group as Graham Holdings Co. Unlike a single-label scheme, BQ-MICS assigns each company a primary industry and any secondary industries it genuinely operates in, and records the reasoning behind every assignment. Tap the info icon beside any ticker to read it.

What does "2nd" next to a ticker mean?

It marks a secondary match: the company operates a real business in this industry group, but it is not its largest. Tick "Primary business only" above the table to compare against pure plays alone.

How often is this peer comparison updated?

Prices, market caps and valuation figures refresh with each session's close. The classification itself is reviewed whenever a company's filings change what it does, such as a new segment, a disposal or an acquisition.

Can I compare these peers on other metrics?
