The article concludes that much of the explosion in corporate profits is made possible by market consolidation: giant companies no longer subject to the pressures of inflation.

Is the above sentence grammatical?

I think it should be: "... giant companies no longer being subject to the pressures of inflation."

Interesting article, by the way.

Gratefully,

That looks like, but isn't, a dangling participle. No reason to do it.
