In a left to right system one would like to see Company | Section | Specific page topic It is upto the website designer / author to write page titles that suits their branding / design policies. Some have the Company part announced by the logo and it may not even be part of the title. Some directly have the specific page title. This is not a matter for W3C to stipulate. SC 2.4.2 only requires that the page title is suggestive of the main topic / content on the page.
