Frequently asked questions
- What is the most profitable company in the world?
- Measured by annual net income, the most profitable public companies are dominated by large technology firms and oil producers, with Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia and Saudi Aramco all reporting over $80 billion in yearly profit.
- Why is this list different from the revenue ranking?
- Profit is what remains after costs. Grocery and distribution businesses book enormous revenue on thin margins, while software and pharmaceutical companies convert a much larger share of sales into profit.
- Are loss-making companies included?
- No. This ranking only includes companies reporting positive net income for their most recent annual period.
