...the privatized Telemar and ...also stand out ...

Edéia,

Como mais de uma companhia se destaca, sugiro que coloque o nome da outra companhia, ou a frase que se refere a outra ou outras companhias depois de "and".

In the ranking it's notable the activities of Telemar, privatized in 1998 and the state-owned Eletro

From your other question this seems to be the full sentence:

No ranking também se destacam as presenças da Telemar, privatizada em 1998, e da estatal Eletrobrás, ainda holding de importantes ativos na área de energia.

So in order to avoid placing the translated verb for "destacar" all the way at the end of the sentence in English after the subjects Telemar and Eletrobrás and their long winded descriptions, I woul rephrase it like this:

*****In the ranking it's notable the activities of Telemar, privatized in 1998 and the state-owned Eletrobrás.....*****
Peer comment(s):

neutral Georgia Morg (X) : vocab OK but not grammatically correct; You can't say "it's notable the activities" in English IMHO

The list consists only of headwords, which means that the word "be" is high on the list.
