Company Rankings by Financial Measure

By the Company Financials Data Editorial Team · Last updated: October 2026

These league tables rank the large companies covered by Company Financials Data on the financial measures that matter most: revenue, profit, cash flow, balance-sheet size and per-share earnings. Every figure behind every ranking comes from an annual 10-K filing in the SEC EDGAR database, retrieved in October 2026, and each ranking page shows the fiscal year behind each company's figure so the comparison is honest about timing.

Why more than one ranking?

Size and quality are different things. Revenue measures scale: how much customers paid a company in a year. Net income measures what survived after every cost, interest payment and tax bill. Free cash flow measures the cash genuinely available after the asset base has been maintained, and total assets measure the size of the balance sheet a company controls. A retailer can top the revenue ranking on thin margins while a software company a fraction of its size earns more profit, and both facts are visible only when the rankings are read together. Our advice is to pick the two or three measures closest to the question you are asking — growth, profitability, cash generation or financial strength — and follow the links into the individual company pages, where each headline figure is shown with its multi-year history.

Fiscal years, restatements and calculated measures

Three honest complications sit behind every table here, and readers deserve them stated on the index page rather than buried. First, fiscal years differ: one company's latest annual figure may cover a year ending in December while another's ends the following June or September, so a ranking compares each company's most recent completed year, not a single shared calendar year — the fiscal year is printed in every row for that reason. Second, companies restate: when a filer amends an earlier report, the newer value replaces the older one in the dataset, and rankings rebuilt from the data reflect the correction automatically at the next retrieval. Third, two of our measures are calculated rather than reported — free cash flow and net profit margin — and both are labelled as calculated wherever they appear, with their formulas stated, so that no reader mistakes our arithmetic for a figure a company itself published.

All rankings are rebuilt from filing data rather than copied from other publishers, calculated measures are labelled as calculated, and companies that do not report a measure in a comparable tagged format are omitted rather than estimated. See the methodology page for exactly how figures are selected, and the company directory for every company covered.
