2010年《金融时报》全球500强排名

2010年《金融时报》全球500强排名(FT Global 500 2010)

　　2010年5月30日，英国《金融时报》发布了今年全球上市公司的500强排名,有3家来自中国的企业进入榜单的前十位,其中中石油更是超越埃克森美孚,坐上全球市值第一的宝座。

　　据报道，此次排名标准是按照公司的市值来排的，即一个公司的股票价值越高排名就越靠前。根据《金融时报》研究机构的报告，截至今年3月31日，中石油当前市值达到3293亿美元，比第二名埃克森高出130多亿美元。微软名列第三，中国工商银 行则以2464亿美元的市值紧随其后。

　　今年全球500强上市公司的总市值达到了23.5万亿美元,比去年上榜企业15.6万亿美元的总市值增长了50.6%,显示出全球经济在这一年时间里的复苏势头。不过去年和前年都排名榜首的埃克森美孚公司今年的市值较去年缩水了203亿美元,终于被之前一直居于次席的中石油所超越。据悉,这是《金融时报》全球 500强第十四期年度排名,也是中国企业第一次排名榜首。

　　除了中石油,榜单的前十位中还有两家中国企业,总数与去年持平,其中工商银行(601398,股吧)市值增长了585亿美元,依旧在第四的位置上,而中国移动的排名从去年的第五下滑到了第十,但市值仍然增长了183亿美元。值得一提的是,这三家中国企业同时也分别是全球能源行业、金融行业和通信行业中市值第一的企业。

　　五百强名单中共有21家在中国大陆上市的企业，全部为大型国有或者国有控股企业，行业涵盖金融、化工、建筑、运输等。今年上榜的中国企业总数(含港澳台) 为45家，略低于去年的47家。在大陆上市的企业数也不如去年的27家。落榜企业包括上海电气、大唐国际发电、紫金矿业等去年榜单上的新秀。

　　另外,按照《金融时报》制定的榜单标准,入围的企业要求有至少15%的股份在市面上流通,按照公司在各自上市交易所的总市值进行排名,未上市的股份则没有计入。

This is the 14th annual ranking of the FT Global 500, providing a yearly snapshot of the world’s largest companies. For the first time, a Chinese company, PetroChina, has overtaken Exxon Mobil as the world’s most valuable company. The total market capitalisation of the Global 500 companies has risen by 50 per cent from $15.6bn to $23.5bn. The only year we have seen a comparable rise was in the Global 500 2000 report. The FTSE All World index has risen by 53 per cent over the same period in dollar terms. The 500th company is worth $16bn, compared to $10bn last year. Banks regain their position as the most valuable sector from the oil and gas producers. The market value of banks has more than doubled from $1,937bn to $4,030bn.

The main table here, and the many available on FT.com, show how corporate fortunes have changed in the past year, highlighting relative performance of countries and sectors.

The companies are ranked by market capitalisation – the greater the stock market value of a company, the higher its ranking. Market capitalisation is the share price on March 31 2010 multiplied by the number of shares issued. The figures in the main FT Global 500 were converted into a common currency, the dollar, to allow comparison.

We have included all companies where the free float – the proportion of shares in market circulation – is at least 15 per cent. Companies are then valued on the lines of shares that are quoted on the stock market. The full value of a listed stock is included even if part of it is tightly held. Unlisted lines of stock are excluded. Investment companies are not included.

For each company the main Global 500 table shows the rank in 2009 and 2010, the country, market capitalisation, sector, turnover, net income, total assets and employees. The price, price earnings ratio, dividend yield and the company’s year-end are included in the Global 500 on FT.com.

A company’s country allocation in the FT Global 500 is based on incorporation and stock market listing, along with market perception, largely following the FTSE guidelines. This can lead to what may seem like some anomalies. For example, EADS and STMicroelectronics, both incorporated in the Netherlands, are classified as French because the main quotes are on the Euronext Paris exchange. Schlumberger and Seagate Technology are classified as US, although they are incorporated in the Netherlands Antilles and the Cayman Islands respectively. The Jardine companies appear under Hong Kong despite their Singapore listings and incorporations in Bermuda.

It is possible to show only a small selection of the information in the printed report, so we have additional FT 500 tables for Europe, US, UK and Japan on www.ft.com. The web also has tables showing the newcomers to the list (and those who have disappeared), largest rises and falls in rank, market capitalisation by sector and by country, as well as a list ranking all the Global 500 companies by sector.

Companies can be ranked by any of their key statistics such as turnover (as used by Fortune magazine in its Global 500), employment or profits. While each can be interesting, we feel there are more weaknesses with these methods. Turnover, for example, does not adequately allow for banks and some financial services companies, while profits will be distorted by write-offs. A common problem affecting most methods other than market capitalisation is timing. As profit and turnover figures come from annual reports, any ranking based on them must be out of date. As annual reports are staggered through the year, some of the numbers used for the rankings would be relating to a period two years before publication of the ranking.

In contrast, it can also be argued that a ranking based on market capitalisations contains a forward-looking element, as share prices include a view on investors’ expectations.

The FT Global 500 companies can be followed in the newspaper and on www.ft.com. A table listing all the FT Global 500 companies appears daily in the UK edition (and on Mondays in the international editions) and in the data archive on www.ft.com. Through the week the FT 500 companies are identified on the international editions’ stock listing pages by a Maltese cross symbol. The constituents of that list are updated quarterly with successive updates shown at www.ft.com/ft500.
