- Financial Times Global 500
The FT Global 500 is an annual snapshot of the world’s largest companies to show how corporate fortunes have changed in the past year, highlighting relative performance of countries and sectors.
Reasoning behind the list
The companies are ranked by market capitalisation. The greater the stock market value of a company, the higher its ranking. Market cap is the share price multiplied by the number of shares issued.
Extract of 2007 list
The table shows each company’s rank in 2006 and 2007, the country of the main stock listing, the sector and the turnover. The net income, price earnings ratio, dividend yield and the company’s year end.
The day chosen for the calculation was 30 March 2007.
“The striking feature of this year’s FT Global 500 is how much stability there is at the top and how much turmoil below.” - Michael Skapinker (Editor of FT Weekend) [cite news | date=2007-06-30 | url=http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/1ef54fea-2ae5-11dc-85f9-000b5df10621.html | title=Exxon Mobil Ranked Number 1 in the 2007 FT Global 500 | work=Financial Times | accessdate=2008-01-27]
