top 10 companies in the worlds..


1. Apple

$182 billion in revenue. $40 billion in profits

 

2.Hewlett-Packard Company 

HP’s $111 billion in annual revenue barely grew last year, which is why CEO Meg Whitman has announced plans to split HP into two separate businesses: HP Enterprise, which will sell enterprise infrastructure, software and services to businesses, and HP Inc., a consumer-facing seller of printers, computers and software. 

 

 3.IBM

IBM has hit some struggles transitioning its on-premise server business to the cloud, watching its its $94 billion in revenue shrink 5.6% last year with profits falling by 27%. 

 

4.Amazon

Amazon’s momentum was called into doubt last year, for the first time in years, after it posted its biggest loss in years. Making matters worse, the company’s Fire phone was a massive disappointment, its cloud services faced competition from Microsoft, and the company got into a messy fight with book publisher Hachette. Still, with $89 billion in revenue 

 

6.Microsoft

Microsoft’s Azure cloud business has been a key earnings driver for the company as its software licensing and computing revenue declines. With $87 billion in annual revenue, the company jumped three spots to number 31

 

6.Google 

umping six spots to number 40, the search giant-turned-moonshot-company grew revenue by 17.9% to $71 billion. Like all incumbent Internet players, Google’s core business is racing to catch up to the shift to mobile. But with $14 billion in annual profits, the company has plenty of wiggle room.

 

7. Intel

The computer chip-maker jumped one spot on this year’s Fortune 500 list to number 52, thanks to 6% revenue growth to $56 billion. The company has suffered from the slumping sales of personal computers, but has invested in growth areas like selling microchips to data center operators and cloud companies. The company is also betting on growth in “Internet of Things,” or connected devices.

 

8. Cisco Systems 

Cisco fell five spots to number 60 this year, having lost 3% in revenue with a total of $47 million. In May the company announced SVP of worldwide field operations Chuck Robbins would replace CEO John Chambers, one of the longest-running tech industry CEOs

 

9. Oracle

Oracle made news earlier this year when the company announced CEO Larry Ellison would step down. At number 82, the company grew revenue 2.9% to $38 billion last year.

 

10. Qualcomm

The chipmaker has experienced pressure in the last year to spin off its chip unit from its patent-licensing business. Qualcomm grew revenue 6.5% to $26 billion, with profits up 16.3%.
