Fortune 500 & Fortune 1000

Fortune 500 & 1000This page lists the Fortune 500 & Fortune 1000. It takes a lot of patience to scroll through the entire list!
Alternatively, you can search for a specific company, pull up a list of the Fortune 1000 companies from a particular industry, or a list by state location of the headquarters. (Note: you may have to scroll past ads to see the full lists)
You can also sort the lists by various financial factors, such as sales, profits, profits as a % of sales, etc.
Note: As of Fall 2021, the Fortune website no longer makes these lists freely available.
Google Company Web Site
Tip:
At the company's web site, look for a link for investors (sometimes called Investor Relations). This is where many companies include the most recent Annual Report to Shareholders (sometimes also SEC filings). If you can't find the ARS on the company site, try sources listed in the box underneath this one.
You may also learn about the company's sales operations by exploring other parts of the company's web site, including descriptions of job openings.
