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.

In 2022, based on revenue, China’s leading construction company was China State Construction Engineering with an annual turnover of more than **** trillion yuan. Since 2012, the enterprise had increased its revenue by more than *** 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.
