Good morning. We have just published the 71st annual version of The Fortune 500, our final list for the largest American companies. The minimum connection of the list this year is $ 7.4 billion in revenue, an increase of 4 % from 2024. Wall Mart ranked first to 13Y A straight year, with more than 648 billion dollars in revenue. But Alphabet was the most profitable America, as it got more than $ 100 billion in profits, and Apple was the first rank in the market. In total, Fortune 500 -thirds of US GDP represents $ 19.9 trillion of revenues, $ 1.9 trillion of profits, $ 46 trillion in the market, and about 31 million employees worldwide.
What is going on around this list is its development, because new players are constantly in a commercial scene. Despite geopolitical turmoil, technology turmoil, economic uncertainty, and more, there are only 22 new names on this year’s list, which is the second finest rotation in the past three decades. Among the new arrivals Oscar Health, Palo Alto networks, and rotation like the GE Vernova and Kenvue power giant, who was previously the consumer health care department at Johnson & Johnson. Among those who fell: Liberty Media and Timber Companyheuser.
2025 may turn into calm before the storm, because artificial intelligence already affects. NVIDIA has doubled its revenue last year, as did Server Super Micro Computer. Chipmakers Broadcom and Micron technology won gains that AI moved. Vestra, which provides energy for artificial intelligence databases, has witnessed more than three times in 2024. But the largest winners in that front are Fanny and Faridi Mac, who put the hopes of investors in high reports that they may come out of government guard.
Finally, although the number of billion dollars startups may fade-this cover story is remembered?-There are an increasing number of companies that are now looking for trillion dollars. Berkshire Hathaway has become the first non -technical company to join Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet and Meta as members.
