Pepsi is a bigger company than Coke because it is way more diversified than Coke.

Pepsi owns a shit load of snack food business, Doritos, Sun Chip, Tostitos, etc. are all owned by Pepsi.

Basically, Revenue means how much money the company gets.

Profit is how much money the company is left over with after they get done paying bills and employees, etc etc.

For instance: If I managed to sell 1,000,000 boxes of stuff at $100/box, I'd have made $100,000,000 dollars in revenue. If it cost me $99.99/box, I'd have only made $10,000 in profit.

Figured I'd explain it further :p

IBM makes their money on the backend. Lots of server hardware. Only thing I can think of.

Pepsi...no clue. Although I'd rather drink pepsi than coke anyday. I just don't drink cola though. Dr Pepper man here

Not anymore. Those are owned by Yum! Brand. PepsiCo currently owns Pepsi, FritoLay, Tropicana, Quaker, Gatorade, and some specialty drinks (SoBe, 7 Up internationally, Propel, etc)

Market cap don't have a lot of meaning by itself, it is just the total worth of its stock. Stock is based on PERCEIVED values. Lots of Dot Com companies in the early 2000s had huge market caps, but they all went bust.

When judging the size of a company, you have to consider it's revenue, headcount, and then its market cap.

You obviously don't care very much about your money, because Pepsi sold those brands like 10 years ago.:D
