Two Lexington Businesses Among Globe's Top 100

The Boston Globe has ranked the state’s top 100 publicly held companies by composite performance and two Lexington companies made the list.

Cubist Pharmaceuticals was the highest ranked, checking in at No. 6 after rising 70 spots from its No. 76 position on the 2012 list. Located on Hayden Avenue, Cubist is a bio-pharmaceutical company that, according to its website, is "focused on the research, commercial­ization and creation of pharmaceutical products that address unmet medical needs in the acute care environment."

VistaPrint also made the list, at No. 48. It fell 27 spots from last year, when it was ranked No. 21. VistaPrint, the business branding/design and e-commerce company, currently has its North American headquarters on Hayden Ave.

Though Cubist and VistaPrint were the sole Lexington companies on the list, they were joined by several from nearby communities Bedford, Burlington and Waltham.
