Company comparison

Search the whole selection by company, country or sector, then choose a metric and optionally limit the results. The table and optional bar comparison use the same matching companies. Table headers can sort that selection independently; the chart remains ordered by the chosen metric. Each company name links to its historical source profile.

This is a curated selection of 34 companies from the 2024 Fortune Global 500 edition, not the complete ranking or today’s largest firms. The edition covers fiscal years ending through 31 March 2024; years need not match the calendar. Revenue and profit are in billions of US dollars under the publisher’s conversion and accounting definitions. Employees are people as recorded by the publisher, not thousands; reporting dates and full-/part-time conventions can differ. This is not a market-price or investment tool.

Profit is not operating income or market value. China National Petroleum is the parent group, not its listed subsidiary PetroChina. Coca-Cola is separate from Berkshire Hathaway. Sector labels are broad editorial categories. Missing metrics are excluded from that metric’s ranking, not replaced by zero. Negative profits are preserved; bars extend left of a common zero line. Search and comparison run locally, with no live financial feed.
