Top 10 baby... down with M$!

Pfizer is actually a larger company than Merck now that they (Pfizer) have acquired Pharmacia.

 

[BigSmooth]

Coca-Cola is only 92nd? I would have thought they'd be higher.

Edit: ah, there is also a "Coca-Cola Enterprises" at 108. Many of these companies are just pieces of a larger entity.

 

[DaWhim]

woot!
gonna buy fortune mag

Wonder how big Sam's club is in Walmarts ranking? (too lazy to look). How many other chains does walmart own (I really don't know)?
NOTE: Can probably bump KMART off the list.

 

[ElFenix]

wow, UPS had 50% higher sales than FedEx!

CCE was spun off but it might still be mostly owned by coke... CCE is the bottling group

Can someone explain how Kmart is #39 and went bankrupt

<-- was thinking the same thing...

Though around here,... the stores they're closing have close competition... with Walmarts and Targets practically right down the road. But still... bankruptcy ?!

the ranking is by total sales. profitability is a different list

 

[Random Variable]

Tyco would be #36 if were on the list.

I believe the ranking is based on revenue.

 

[jazzhound]

Where would Microsoft rank by profit margins? I'm not surprised a retail chain is at the top. That's still quite alot of change to have. AS CEO of WalMart I'd withdraw all that half of a trillion dollars and go live on the moon. After I've contracted Boeing for my own private space shuttle of coarse

I'd probably get a few girls, a team of doctors, fabricators of all sorts, etc so I can sustain a colony of my own up there.

 

[FoBoT]

dang, i think we went up several spots (~30)

last year we were just barely in the top 500, IIRC
