We examine the current state of the US public corporation and how it has evolved over the last 40 years. After falling by 50 percent since its peak in 1997, the number of public corporations is now smaller than 40 years ago. These corporations are now much larger and over the last twenty years have become much older; they invest differently, as the average firm invests more in R&D than it spends on capital expenditures; and compared to the 1990s, the ratio of investment to assets is lower, especially for large firms. Public firms have record high cash holdings and, in most recent years, the average firm has more cash than long-term debt. Measuring profitability by the ratio of earnings to assets, the average firm is less profitable, but that is driven by smaller firms. Earnings of public firms have become more concentrated—the top 200 firms in profits earn as much as all public firms combined. Firms' total payouts to shareholders as a percent of earnings are at record levels. Possible explanations for the current state of the public corporation include a decrease in the net benefits of being a public company, changes in financial intermediation, technological change, globalization, and consolidation through mergers.

In 2011, the net profit margin of the mining industry's 40 leading companies was approximately 24 percent. Thirteen years later, in 2024, the net profit margin stood at 11 percent.

The average net profit margin of the world’s top 40 mining companies stood at some seven percent in 2014, but decreased to negative seven percent in 2015, and then rebounded to 11 percent in both 2023 and 2024.

Abstract (en): We examine the current state of the US public corporation and how it has evolved over the last 40 years. After falling by 50 percent since its peak in 1997, the number of public corporations is now smaller than 40 years ago. These corporations are now much larger and over the last twenty years have become much older; they invest differently, as the average firm invests more in R&D than it spends on capital expenditures; and compared to the 1990s, the ratio of investment to assets is lower, especially for large firms. Public firms have record high cash holdings and, in most recent years, the average firm has more cash than long-term debt. Measuring profitability by the ratio of earnings to assets, the average firm is less profitable, but that is driven by smaller firms. Earnings of public firms have become more concentrated—the top 200 firms in profits earn as much as all public firms combined. Firms' total payouts to shareholders as a percent of earnings are at record levels. Possible explanations for the current state of the public corporation include a decrease in the net benefits of being a public company, changes in financial intermediation, technological change, globalization, and consolidation through mergers.

Middle Eastern airlines before and in the aftermath of COVID-19 The Middle Eastern airline companies have an ambitious plan to shift the center of global air transport towards their local region. The region’s largest carriers – Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar – exert high effort to position their respective countries as central hubs for intercontinental travel. Yet, the dynamics of global commercial airlines create a fiercely competitive environment difficult to resist. Up until around 2016, the region was consistently the fastest growing but the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic further worsened the profitability scenario in the Middle East. In 2020, the Middle Eastern airline groups incurred a net loss of just under ***** billion U.S. dollars. Reasons for low profits in the Middle East Analysts provide several reasons for the low profits of Middle Eastern airlines. One reason is a decline in demand relative to capacity. For example, Qatar Airways increased their available seat kilometers in 2019, while the number of passengers they carried slightly increased. Regional geopolitical tensions is one reason often given for this decline, both through direct effects (such as the Qatar blockade which commenced in 2017) and the indirect effect of leading passengers to not want to travel through the region. Other analysts argue that the large Middle Eastern airlines are simply less concerned with profits than their western counterparts, as they are owned by oil-funded governments who are more focused on gaining market share than profitability. Regardless of reasons, airlines in the Middle East are significantly less profitable than the industry average.
