The largest companies in the world. The most expensive companies in the world: Forbes and Fortune ratings

The largest business on the planet was China's trading and industrial bank operating under the ICBC brand. He headed the rating of Forbes Global 2000 the sixth year in a row. Together with him, the leadership of China and the American Financial Corporation JPMorgan Chase from Mainland China were held in the leaders of the company in the top ten World Forbes Global 2000 rating. The second half went to companies from the United States. The annual rating includes the largest business structures on the planet. This year, companies from 60 countries with an aggregate revenue of $ 39.1 trillion were included in the list of $ 3.2 trillion and assets worth $ 189 trillion. Forbes estimates the total market value of all 2000 rating companies at $ 56.8 trillion. The largest company of 2018 was China's trade and industrial bank operating under the ICBC brand. This is a state corporation with private capital: most of the shares belong to the Government of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the smaller part is trading on the stock exchange. ICBC controls the fifth of the entire banking sector in China. This allowed the company to take the first place in the Forbes Global 2000 rating of the sixth time in a row. In the second line, China Construction Bank is located, the top three completed the financial giant JPMorgan Chase from the United States. The most major representative of the non-bank sector was the Holding Warren Buffeta Berkshire Hathaway, located in the fourth position. This holding includes many companies of different profiles: construction, food, transport, insurance, financial and others. The last time the non-Chinese company ranked first in the Forbes Global 2000 rating in 2012. At that moment, the largest business structure on the planet was an American oil giant Exxonmobil. Now the United States Corporation takes 13 position.

20. Microsoft.

Microsoft opens the leading twenty Forbes rating with a revenue of $ 103.3 billion and net profit of $ 14.2 billion. A few years ago, the company avoided the evolutionary trap of the winner, in which the dominant player in the market stops in development: Microsoft could not focus on programs for personal computers and started diversification. Among the high-profile shopping of IT giant is Skype video call service, Nokia phones manufacturer, LinkedIn employee search service and Github programmers community.

19. BNP PARIBAS.

In recent years, the French banking group BNP Paribas has become a defendant of several loud investigations. Perhaps the most noticeable was the case of non-compliance with American sanctions, when BNP Paribas was revealed to the United States with dictatorial regimes of Sudan, Iran and Cuba. For this in 2014, the French sentenced to fine at $ 1.9 billion. Since then, BNP Paribas completely compensated for damage, restored the work of branches in the United States and strengthened its status of the largest bank of the eurozone.

18. Verizon Communications

For the leaders of the telecommunications industry, the past year was the year of mergers and acquisitions. In June last year, Verizon for $ 4.5 billion bought Yahoo's Internet giant.

It will be called upon to help Verizon earn not only to provide access to the Internet, but also in the entertainment content market on the network.

17. HSBC.

The largest bank of Europe HSBC took only the 17th place in the ranking - and this reflects the place of Europe in the modern world.

16. Volkswagen Group.

Like Verizon, AT & T is tuned to the absorption: the company made a proposal to purchase a Time Warner film studio for $ 85 billion.

14. Samsung Electronics

Samsung still does not reach his main competitor in the smartphone market, Apple.

SAMSUNG capitalization is $ 325.9 billion - almost three times less than the Apple ($ 926.9 billion).

13. Exxonmobil

Concern Exxonmobil retained 13th place in the list, but it only seems stagnation: during the same time, the main European competitor of American oil workers, Royal Dutch Shell jumped into 11 position. This means that ExxonMobil can no longer be called the largest oil business on the planet. And let the capitalization of Americans in the amount of $ 344 billion still surpasses other commodity companies, in other indicators Exxonmobil gave way to Europeans. For example, ExxonMobil revenue amounted to $ 230 billion instead of $ 321.8 billion at Shell.

12. Toyota Motor.

Toyota has earned $ 22.5 billion net profit for the year and ranked 12th in the ranking. The Japanese not only hold the impressive share in the market of traditional cars, but also try to get off competitors in the growing segment of cars on alternative fuel. For example, Toyota already produces a car on hydrogen fuel cells. With the help of investments in such technologies, the Japanese expect to protect against the dieting gasoline industry.

11. Royal Dutch Shell

Oil and gas companies have noticeably climbed in the Forbes rating due to the growth of prices for fossil fuels last year. True, few people have moved up so much as Royal Dutch Shell did. The company has played nine places immediately and flew from 20 to 11 position. Now the capitalization of Dutch oil workers reached $ 306 billion, and revenue - astronomical $ 321.8 billion.

10. PING AN INSURANCE GROUP

China's largest insurer and almost the world's largest: in the competition of insurance companies Ping An is inferior only to American Berkshire Hathaway. True, Berkshire Hathaway - Multidisciplinary Holding, while Ping An is more concentrated on insurance. Concomitant in this case were banking and medical services. The emphasis on development in adjacent areas and the strongest digitalization of each process allowed Chinese Ping An by 64% to exceed the indicators of its nearest persecutors in the Asian market, AIA's insurance company, which is present in the 18 countries of the region.

9. Bank of China

14 Chinese banks hit the Forbes Global 2000 rating, four of whom were in the top ten. This is the so-called big four, controlling a significant part of the banking sector in the PRC. Bank of China enters this list; In terms of assets ($ 3.2 trillion), he also falls into the top five world leaders. China's oldest current bank is counting since 1912, and until 1942, Bank of China served as the central bank and issued a national currency. Now the Bank of China is considered one of the main financial institutions of Hong Kong and has the right to emiate local dollars.

8. Apple.

For the year, Apple's position has been significantly strengthened. The company headed the rating of US public companies, increased market capitalization for $ 175 billion ($ 926.9 billion against $ 752 billion a year earlier) and increased assets by $ 36.5 billion ($ 367.5 billion instead of $ 331 billion last year). As a result, the manufacturer of smartphones and computers moved from the ninth to the eighth place in the ranking.

7. WELLS FARGO.

WELLS FARGO is associated with the bank, but earns not only percentage of loans. Together with the issuance of the mortgage and storage of deposits, the company is engaged in confidential assets of assets, insurance, invests in securities and develops the direction of leasing. Over the past year, the bank lost $ 9 billion market capitalization: if in 2017 Wells Fargo estimated at $ 274.4 billion, now only $ 265.3 billion. But the company has increased revenue - instead of $ 97.6 billion over the last year, WELLS Fargo earned $ 102 , 1 billion

6. Bank of America

The total profit of the three largest banks in the USA for 2017 was $ 68.5 billion Bank of America with a result of $ 20.3 billion a little behind competitors in terms of income, but the cossial assets of $ 2.3 trillion allowed the bank to take the sixth line in the ranking. Bank of America seriously suffered in the crisis of 2008-2009, but recently increases positions and played places in Forbes Global 2000. A year ago, the bank was only the seventh.

5. Agricultural Bank of China

As the name implies, the Agricultural Bank of China finances one of the most complex sectors of the Chinese economy - agrarian. The need to work with farmers and harvesting does not interfere with Agricultural Bank of China systematically promotion to the top: the bank has steadily increasing assets and plays one position in the ranking after another. Last year, the Agricultural Bank of China held the sixth place, he went to the fifth. Capitalization of the company is $ 184 billion.

4. Berkshire Hathaway.

Investment Empire Warren Buffett lost one position compared to last year's rating and retreated from the third to the fourth place. And yet, business has grown out: the main event of 2017 for Berkshire Hathaway has become a one-time tax deduction that allowed the company to increase profits from $ 21.5 billion to $ 45 billion per year. It helped to compensate for the overall reduction of profitability, with which the Berkshire Hathaway insurance unit was encountered.

3. Jpmorgan Chase

In a recent ranking of the largest US companies, the financial conglomerate JPMorgan Chase took only third place by giving way to Apple and Berkshire Hathaway. Over the past time, the main bank giant of the United States was ahead of his competitors and became the largest company of America. With assets of $ 2.6 trillion JPMorgan Chase hit the top three leaders of the world ranking. The company is engaged in the management of asset, investment and traditional banking services.

2. Construction Bank of China

China Construction Bank (CCB) was previously called China's People's Construction Bank. Since 1954, all the construction and infrastructure projects of the Chinese Communist Party (PDA) are financed through this bank. It is not surprising that with such a CCB portfolio, it was released in the second place in the ranking: in the PRC are actively building housing, roads, bridges, train stations and airports. Forbes assesses the cost of the China Construction Bank of $ 261 billion, the CCB branch is also functioning in Europe, the USA, Japan, Korea and Russia.

1. China Trade and Industrial Bank

China's trade and industrial bank of China (Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, ICBC) is headed by the rating of Forbes Global 2000 Sixth Year in a row - and this is an indicator of the power of the banking sector of the PRC. Last year, the cumulative loans issued by Chinese banks reached $ 35 trillion: it's three times more Chinese GDP. The Chinese economy grows in a huge pace, and state banks became the main beneficiaries of this growth.

American Forbes has prepared its annual ranking of the 2000 largest public companies in the world. Forbes in his calculations equally took into account the four indicators: revenue, profits, asset size and market capitalization.

The total indicators of the fallen list in the last year have increased markedly. Together, the ranking participants generated $ 32 trillion (growth - $ 2 trillion), and the total profit was $ 2.4 trillion against $ 1.4 trillion a year earlier. Assets of the 2000 largest Forbes corporations estimated at $ 138 trillion, and the total capitalization is $ 38 trillion.

The greatest representation is still in the United States who delegated 536 companies in the list. American leadership does not yet cause any questions: from the main competitor - Japan - 260 companies have fallen into the rating. In addition, if in the first hundred, American companies have occupied 28 seats at once, then Japanese only five. At the same time, the largest of them - Nippon Telegraph & Tel - is located only in the 48th place. For the United States and Japan, China followed by China (121 Company), Canada (67 companies) and South Korea (61 Company).

Representatives of the financial sector (480 companies) dominate the ranking. Huge assets, of course, their chief trump card. With a big lag, oil and gas companies are in the ranking turned out to be 127. In terms of profit gains, insurance companies (624%) are occupied by the earnings of semiconductors (45%), for capitalization growth - autoconcens (57%).

On the first line of the ranking of the second year in a row is the bank JPMorgan Chase. For the year, JPMorgan has further improved its results: revenue amounted to $ 115.48 billion ($ 115.63 billion - last year), profits $ 17.37 billion ($ 11.65 billion), assets $ 2117 billion ($ 2031 billion), capitalization $ 182,21 billion ($ 166.19 billion a year ago). At the same time, these indicators are difficult to call outstanding - neither of them JPMorgan does not fall even in the top 10.

The second place is now occupied by HSBC. The rapid growth of profits helped with the eighth line with the British Bank: from $ 5.83 billion to $ 13.3 billion. Closes the top of the once unconditional leader American ELECTRIC Corporation. GE revenue for the year decreased from $ 156.78 billion to $ 150.21 billion, and the cost of assets from $ 781 billion to $ 751 billion.

This is followed by three oil companies: ExxonMobil (world capitalization leader - $ 407.2 billion), Dutch Shell and Chinese Petrochina. ICBC, the largest Chinese bank occupies 7th place: when revenue of $ 69.19 billion, ICBC profits amounted to $ 18.84 billion. Tens of investment fund Warren Buffett Berkshire Hathaway, Brazilian State Oil Company Petrobras-Petróleo Brasil and Citigroup Bank.

The number of Russian companies in the list decreased by two - to 26. In the first hundred, it was possible to break through three: Gazprom (15th place), LUKOIL (71st) and Rosneft (77th). Gazprom, moreover, turned out to be the third profit company - $ 25.72 billion. More Russian gas giants earned only ExxonMobil ($ 30.46 billion) and Nestle ($ 36.65 billion).

China's largest state electricity company strengthens its position in the international market for several years, but does not forget about the internal. Last year, she announced plans to spend $ 65 billion a year over five years to modernize the national network.

Many companies have a turnover of funds exceeding the income and expenses of many countries. It is likely that the conditions in the world will not be dictated soon, but huge corporations.

How large is the largest company, one can judge several indicators: net income, assets and market value. Assets are the actual property of the company together with all material and intangible values, and the market value is the amount in which the cost of the company itself is estimated.

The largest companies in pure income per year

Annual net profit is the most important indicator of the success of a particular company, because it can have a huge amount of real estate, technology, money in stock, but at the same time there will be almost no profit. The more money the company brings, the better, is more authoritative.

5th place - Chinese Building Bank. Net evaluation profit of one of the largest banks of China is $ 31 billion a year. These are incredible figures that are achieved by a special bank policy aimed at improving the standard of living of their citizens. China is a huge construction site, because there are many roads, houses, plants and other objects. The country flies forward with sevenmal steps, so many companies take loans from such banks.

4th place - ICBC. The industrial-commercial bank of China is located on the 4th place of the list of the most rapidly riching companies in the world. Bank's annual profit is 38 billion dollars. The reason is the same as the construction bank - the incredible internal expansion of the Chinese industry. Property This bank is most of all in the world - almost 3 trillion dollars. These are twelve zeros, by the way.

3rd place - Gazprom. "Dreams come true" - 40 and a half billion dollars brought the company owners in 2017. Russia sells gas to a huge number of countries, so revenues relevant. Few could have thought that the Russian company would be in the top three leaders, but this is true. The company owns property for 340 billion dollars.

2nd place - Apple. According to experts, $ 42 billion dollars net profit company brought owners in 2017. These numbers grow every year. This is one of the most promoted companies for the production of highest quality. When a new model of his favorite iPhone is coming out, then the queues are built in another two days before the premiere. The company has very few assets, because they do not need a huge number of plants all over the world.

1st place - Exxon Mobil. This is the largest oil company in the world from the United States. It appeared as a result of the merge Exxon and Mobil. The company's net profit is 45 billion dollars a year. The company's assets are relatively few for such a huge profit - 350,000,000,000 dollars. These 350 billion bring huge money because there is no point in constantly building something - oil is transported on the same tankers, according to the same pipelines, and is mined in the same places. Oil trade is the most profitable business in the world, so it is absolutely nothing to be surprised.

The most expensive companies in the world

It is very important to evaluate the company's market value. The highest cost is always among those companies that are producing something and are of great popularity in humans. They have not so many assets, but huge profits and prospects.

5th place - Facebook. The company's cost is estimated at 520 billion dollars. Half Trillion is asked by the brand of Zuckerberg, a talented man who created the most popular social network in the world. He was a pioneer in this area, so it should be so high. This cost is fully justified.

4th place - Alphabet. 570 billion dollars is a company that used to be called Google. Now this is holding companies. The cost is quite justified, because this is the largest search engine in the world. Search engines are divided into Google and all others, as they say in the company itself.

3 place - Microsoft. 640 billion is a fabulous money even for a global company. Bill Gates in this market has been for a long time, so there is nothing surprising in the fact that his company is the largest software manufacturer. At the moment, Microsoft is experiencing not the best times, but the cost of the company is still growing.

2nd place - Amazon. The owner of the company, Jeff Bezos, is the richest man on the planet, because the company's shares took off sharply in 2017, raising the company's cost of up to 700, and then until the surrounding 930 billion dollars. This is one of the largest companies in the world in which more than 200,000 employees work. With modest assets of 55 billion annual income is very impressive - 3 billion.

1st place - Apple. The record holder in the total value of shares is all the favorite "apple". Steve Jobs would pride in such an indicator. The company's cost recently exceeded one trillion dollars. Such a number of zeros does not fit in the head - 1,000,000,000,000. In the largest and most expensive company, the world has 120,000 people. If earlier the company produced only computers and phones, now it has a huge range of goods and services. This cost is fully justified, because it is the most recognizable and most popular brand in the world.

The largest companies are not determined by non-industrial premises or the number of employees, but by capitalization and net income. As in the whole other, the popularity of the brand is often important in business. The more recognizable company, the higher the chances that there will be huge money for its shares, which automatically raises the cost in the market.
