It wasn't a great year on Wall Street for most IT vendors, but some companies certainly fared better than others. Channelweb.com tracked the year-over-year results for 33 vendors from our Channel Champs and Annual Report Card (ARC) surveys, and found some interesting results.
All 33 companies saw their stock valuations deflate in 2008, but their declines ranged greatly, from less than 10 percent for security vendor McAfee, down to 98 percent for struggling telecom giant Nortel.
Overall, the 33 companies' stocks fell 46.3 percent in 2008. By comparison, Nasdaq fell 33.8 percent and Dow Jones declined 40.5 percent over the past 12 months.
For better or worse, here are the year's 33 best (and worst) stocks for vendors from 2008.
