--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---

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.

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.

The S&P 500, an index of 500 publicly traded companies in the United States, closed at 5,881.63 points on the last trading day of December 2024. What is the S&P 500? The S&P 500 is a stock market index that tracks the evolution of 500 companies. In contrast to the Dow Jones Industrial Index, which measures the performance of thirty large U.S. companies, the S&P 500 shows the sentiments in the broader market. Publicly traded companies Companies on the S&P 500 are publicly traded, meaning that anyone can invest in them. A large share of adults in the United States invest in the stock market, though many of these are through a retirement account or mutual fund. While most people make a modest return, the most successful investors have made billions of U.S. dollars through investing.

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.
