Fortune editors wrote: “Global Business is Back. After limping through a worldwide financial crisis and economic slowdown, the 500 largest companies ranked by revenues shattered all sorts of performance records in 2013: They racked up combined revenues of $31.1 trillion, up 2.5 percent from 2012, and profits soared 27 percent to nearly $2 trillion. China’s 95 companies (up from 89 last year) posted $5.8 trillion in revenues. The U.S. has four fewer companies on the list than last year but remains (for now) the country leader, with 128 corporations on the list–including No. 1 Wal-Mart Stores–reporting $8.6 trillion in revenues.”
