The business publication said that US-based Wal-Mart Stores 沃尔玛 remained at the top of the list of the world’s biggest companies by revenue at some 378 billion dollars.
But the number of US firms in the top 500 fell to 153, the lowest in over a decade.
Number two on the list was US oil giant ExxonMobil 埃克森美孚 with 372 billion dollars in revenue, followed by Royal Dutch Shell 荷兰皇家壳牌 (355 billion); British-based BP 英国石油 (291 billion); Japan’s Toyota Motor 丰田汽车 (230 billion); US oil firm Chevron 雪佛龙 (210 billion); Dutch bank ING Group (201 billion); French-based oil giant Total (187 billion); US automaker General Motors 通用汽车 (182 billion); and US oil firm ConocoPhillips (178 billion).

The US still had the most companies on the list, but a falling dollar became an advantage to non-US based companies, Fortune said. Japan had 64 firms and France had 39 to edge out Germany with 37 and Britain’s 34.
But China had an unprecedented total of 29 companies on the list — as many as Italy, Spain, and Australia combined. The top Chinese firm was Sinopec 中国石化 with 159 billion dollars in revenues.
