List
Fortune 500 revenue of 33 trillion US dollars hit a record high
The operating income of the Fortune 500 companies this year reached 33 trillion U.S. dollars, a record high, close to the combined GDP of China and the United States. The threshold (minimum sales revenue) to enter the rankings has also increased from 24.8 billion US dollars to 25.4 billion US dollars.
There are a total of 25 new and re-listed companies on the Fortune Global 500 list this year, of which 8 are newly listed Chinese companies. They are: Shanghai Construction Engineering, Shenzhen Investment Holdings, Shenghong, Shandong Iron and Steel, Shanghai Pharmaceuticals, Guangxi Investment, China Nuclear Industry and China Coal Energy.
In terms of ranking changes, the fastest rising this year is the Prudential Group, which jumped 292 places. It is worth mentioning that 6 of the top 10 companies that jumped the fastest in the rankings are insurance companies. The two fastest rising companies in China are also in the insurance industry, namely AIA (up 138 places) and Cathay Financial Holdings (81 places).
A total of 10 Chinese banks have entered the list this year, and the profits of these 10 banks accounted for 44% of the total profits of all mainland Chinese companies on the list. Compared with previous years, which accounted for more than 50%, the profit ratio of banks on the list this year has dropped significantly, but the ratio is still too high. Excessive bank profits will inevitably squeeze the profits of non-financial companies. If you don’t calculate bank profits, the average profit of 114 non-bank companies in mainland China is only nearly $2.2 billion. For comparison, the average profit of 113 US non-bank companies is as high as 6.3 billion US dollars, nearly three times that of mainland Chinese companies.
