To qualify for the Sunday Times Top 100 Companies, JSE-listed companies are required to hold a minimum market capitalisation of R5-billion as of Monday, 31 August 2020, with winners determined by the highest returns for their shareholders over a five year period based on a theoretical initial investment of R10 000.

For the period between Tuesday, 1 September 2015 and Monday, 31 August 2020, DRDGOLD showed an annual compound growth rate of 77.4%. This means that R10 000 invested in 2015 would have delivered R175 651 in 2020.
