If HNA Group owns Ingram Micro, why are both on the list seperately? 2600:6C44:2400:6B8:C83B:4F9E:C519:6C3 (talk) 14:04, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Missing companies

Where is Walmart? According its article it has over $500 billion of revenue, more than double than #1 of the list. Sure it is privately owned? 46.132.78.122 (talk) 23:33, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Synthesis of material
Is this table not a classic example of original research and hopelessly complex to maintain or judge accuracy? The list uses different sources, and revenue figures for different years, to then make a hierarchy of companies by those figures. And it leans heavily on Forbes' list of American companies. So could be missing many companies from around the world? I don't see how this article could/should exist based on it's current referencing. Can someone allay my concerns?

 * Yes, I see your concern. I noticed that South Korean Chaboels are private and are not listed. Samsung and SK Group have revenue of over 100 Billion and are not listed. 161.69.54.14 (talk) 21:23, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Flags as decoration
MOS:FLAG says that we should not unduly emphasize nationality, especially when the list entries are explicitly representing their countries of origin or headquarters. The list entries are private non-governmental, which is just about as plain as it gets that the flags should not be shown. Binksternet (talk) 03:25, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Mediterranean Shipping Company is not included

What's up with this article?
So many companies are missing. People above mentioned a few, I can add Russian Lukoil for example with revenue well above $100 bln. It would be interesting to learn the methodology for this list. Gorgedweller (talk) 18:20, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

List of largest companies by revenue has 31 companies with at least $200 billion, 23 of those are marked as not state owned. Yet this list only has two with over $200 billion. I don't know what that "privately held" on the header actually means. Apart for mentioned Walmart, also Amazon has a revenue over $500 billion. Then there world top 10 companies ExxonMobil, Apple and Shell which are around $400 billion. Those are not privately held? 193.210.196.238 (talk) 02:40, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
