Walker & Dunlop Named to FORTUNE Magazine's 100 Fastest-Growing Companies
BETHESDA, Md., Sept. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (NYSE: WD) announced today that it was recognized by FORTUNE magazine as one of the "100 Fastest-Growing Companies" in its 2014 rankings. Walker & Dunlop was ranked 20th in terms of revenue growth and 77th for overall growth. The publication highlighted Walker & Dunlop's loan origination volumes and the resurgence of the financial services and housing/real estate sectors.
FORTUNE generated this year's annual list by ranking publicly traded companies based on revenue growth rate, EPS growth rate, and three-year annualized total return for the period ended June 30, 2014. The overall rank of each company is based on the sum of the three ranks.
"We are honored to be a part of FORTUNE's prestigious list that includes some of the world's largest and most influential companies," commented Walker & Dunlop Chairman and CEO Willy Walker. "There are over 6,000 publicly-traded companies in the United States, and only 100 make this list in recognition of their profitable growth over the past three years. This is a true testament to our team and all we have accomplished together," continued Walker. "What is most exciting is that after declining over the past several years, commercial real estate loan refinancing volumes are set to grow dramatically over the coming three years."
Walker & Dunlop was also recently named one of 2014's "Fastest Growing Companies" in the Greater Washington DC area by Washington Business Journal. This recognition is awarded to companies that have grown fastest over a trailing three year period. This is Walker & Dunlop's fourth consecutive year on this list. Washington Business Journal will release rankings of the 50 winning companies on October 30th.
