The company ranking improved in 2010, moving up the Fortune 500 list to 300th compared to 314th in 2009. This was based on its 2009 revenue of $8,206 million (a change of -1 million compared to 2010) and profits of $930 million (a change of $-523 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 PPL Corporation would be ranked 242nd rather than 300th due to its profits of $407 in 2010.
