Comcast Corporation

Comcast Corporation is a Fortune 500 company. In 2010 Comcast Corporation was ranked number 59 on the Fortune 500 list, making it the 59th largest company in the United States when judged by revenue.

Comcast Corporation achieved revenue of $35,756.00 million in 2010 and earned a profit of $3,638.00 million.

Comcast Corporation' rank improves

The company ranking improved in 2010, moving up the Fortune 500 list to 59th compared to 68th in 2009. This was based on its 2009 revenue of $34,256 million (a change of 1 million compared to 2010) and profits of $2,547 million (a change of $1 million compared to 2009).

Another point of view

To many investors, profits are more important than the revenue a company earns. If the Fortune 500 was ranked by profits instead of revenue then Comcast Corporation would be ranked 39th rather than 59th due to its profits of $3,638 in 2010.
