The Fortune Global 500, also known as Global 500, is an annual ranking of the top 500 corporations worldwide as measured by revenue. The list is compiled and published annually by Fortune magazine.

Until 1989, it listed only non-United States industrial corporations under the title "International 500" while the Fortune 500 contained and still contains exclusively United States corporations. In 1990, United States companies were added to compile a truly global list of top industrial corporations as ranked by sales. Since 1995, the list has had its current form, the listing also tops financial corporations and service providers by revenue.

Several inconsistencies exist in Fortune's ranking of cities with the most Fortune 500 headquarters. On June 3, 2011, the Atlanta Business Chronicle stated examples of Fortune including regional headquarters for some cities, excluding regional headquarters for other cities, and in some cases excluding headquarters that are physically located inside a city limit.

With a market capitalization of 3.12 trillion U.S. dollars as of May 2024, Microsoft was the world’s largest company that year. Rounding out the top five were some of the world’s most recognizable brands: Apple, NVIDIA, Google’s parent company Alphabet, and Amazon. Saudi Aramco led the ranking of the world's most profitable companies in 2023, with a pre-tax income of nearly 250 billion U.S. dollars. How are market value and market capitalization determined? Market value and market capitalization are two terms frequently used – and confused - when discussing the profitability and viability of companies. Strictly speaking, market capitalization (or market cap) is the worth of a company based on the total value of all their shares; an important metric when determining the comparative value of companies for trading opportunities. Accordingly, many stock exchanges such as the New York or London Stock Exchange release market capitalization data on their listed companies. On the other hand, market value technically refers to what a company is worth in a much broader context. It is determined by multiple factors, including profitability, corporate debt, and the market environment as a whole. In this sense it aims to estimate the overall value of a company, with share price only being one element. Market value is therefore useful for determining whether a company’s shares are over- or undervalued, and in arriving at a price if the company is to be sold. Such valuations are generally made on a case-by-case basis though, and not regularly reported. For this reason, market capitalization is often reported as market value. What are the top companies in the world? The answer to this question depends on the metric used. Although the largest company by market capitalization, Microsoft's global revenue did not manage to crack the top 20 companies. Rather, American multinational retailer Walmart was ranked as the largest company in the world by revenue. Walmart also had the highest number of employees in the world.

As of April 10, 2025, tech giants Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet (Google), and Amazon dominated the S&P 500 index and were among only eight companies with a market capitalization exceeding *** ******** U.S. dollars in the U.S.

In 2020, the average lifespan of a company on Standard and Poor's 500 Index was just over 21 years, compared with 32 years in 1965. There is a clear long-term trend of declining corporate longevity with regards to companies on the S&P 500 Index, with this expected to fall even further throughout the 2020s.

Out of the Japanese Fortune Global 500 companies, Honda Motor was the largest company headquartered in Tokyo in 2020. The ranking was based on annual revenue which in the case of Honda amounted to more than *** billion U.S. dollars. Mitsubishi was the second largest Japanese Fortune Global 500 company with its headquarters in Japan’s capital, generating an annual revenue of close to *** billion dollars.

Scarce office space

The population of the Greater Tokyo Area is home to more than ** million people and despite high rents has attracted many companies to set up their headquarters there. This has led to tight supply-demand conditions and a low annual average vacancy rate for office space. However, some building completions in recent years added supply to the office market in Tokyo. The total office space in the Tokyo Metropolitan area amounted to nearly ** thousand hectares as of 2019.

How to keep up with Hong Kong and Singapore

Although Tokyo is not only popular among Japanese companies, but also among global companies, it has recently been struggling to compete with even more attractive Asian cities, such as Singapore or Hong Kong. Possible measures to satisfy the world’s business elites include improving Tokyo’s infrastructure, simplifying procedures for setting up businesses and inviting competitive international schools.

In 2022, based on revenue, China’s leading construction company was China State Construction Engineering with an annual turnover of more than 2.05 trillion yuan. Since 2012, the enterprise had increased its revenue by more than 350 percent. Similar to many corporations represented in the ranking, China State Construction Engineering is a publicly-traded company with close ties to the Chinese government.

State-owned enterprises

State-owned enterprises (SOEs) play a crucial role in many sectors in the Chinese economy and the construction sector is no exception. For the government, SOEs are a very practical tool because they can act as adjustment screws for the economy and serve as useful vehicles to carry out economic policy. Even though SOEs only account for a small share of the total number of companies in the construction industry, their sizes are significantly bigger.

China Railway Group

According to the Forbes ranking, China Railway Group was the second-largest construction company based on revenue. The enterprise is in many ways a good example of a quasi state-owned entity in the construction sector. It underwent structural reform and was able to increase its revenue in recent years. Part of the reform was that China Railway Group became a publicly-traded company on the stock exchange in Hong Kong and Shanghai. However, the company’s major shareholder is the state-owned China Railway Engineering Corporation.

As of January 2025, the largest all-time bankruptcy in the United States remained Lehman Brothers. The New York-based investment bank had assets worth 691 billion U.S. dollars when it filed for bankruptcy on September 15, 2008. This event was one of the major points in the timeline of the Great Recession, as it was the first time a bank of its size had failed and had a domino effect on the global banking sector, as well as wiping almost five percent of the S&P 500 in one day. Bank failures in the U.S. In March 2023, for the first time since 2021, two banks collapsed in the United States. Both bank failures made the list of largest bankruptcies in terms of total assets lost: The failure of Silicon Valley Bank amounted to roughly 209 billion U.S. dollars worth of assets lost, while Signature Bank had approximately 110.4 billion U.S. dollars when it collapsed. These failures mark the second- and the third-largest bank failures in the U.S. since 2001. Unprofitable banks in the U.S. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank painted an alarming picture of the U.S. banking industry. In reality, however, the state of the industry was much better in 2022 than in earlier periods of economic downturns. The share of unprofitable banks, for instance, was 3.4 percent in 2022, which was an increase compared to 2021, but remained well below the share of unprofitable banks in 2020, let alone during the global financial crisis in 2008. The share of unprofitable banks in the U.S. peaked in 2009, when almost 30 percent of all FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings institutions were unprofitable.
