Fortune 500 財(cái)富500強(qiáng)

The term Fortune 500 refers to an annual listing by Fortune magazine of the top 500 public companies in the US, as ranked by sales, assets, earnings, and capitalization. This list ranks only public companies, or those which have issued securities through an offering and which are traded on the stock market. This list is important to a number of financial groups, but particularly to investors, who study the performance of these select companies. In addition, academic and business researchers look to these companies to learn about best practices in various industries and to discover the secrets to their business and financial success.

Ranking Factors Used in Determining the Fortune 500

SALES GROWTH RANKING. Tracking the increase in sales of a company is a way to determine if the company is indeed growing. This is very important to investors. Sales growth is also indicative of the state of the economy. One would expect a company's sales to grow during a healthy period of economic activity. When a company's sales grow faster than the general economy in the markets in which the firm operates, the firm is obviously outperforming the market due to some process within the company. It could be due to a superior quality product, low-cost production or service delivery methods, excellent customer service and support, or product or process innovations. Companies on the Fortune 500 list typically exhibit more than one success measure that may be important for competitors to emulate.

ASSETS RANKING. Companies listed on the Fortune 500 may also have large and growing assets. As asset is any item of economic value owned by the corporation, including cash, securities, accounts receivable, inventory, office equipment, and property.

EARNINGS RANKING. A firm's earnings are calculated by subtracting the cost of sales, operating expenses, and taxes from its revenues. Earnings are often the single most important determinant of a corporation's stock price.

CAPITALIZATION RANKING. Capitalization is the sum of a corporation's long-term debt, stock, and retained earnings. It may also be called invested capital. By multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the price per share, it is possible to determine the market price of an entire company or its market capitalization. (Small Business Encyclopedia)
