Starbucks Corporation' rank improves

The company ranking improved in 2010, moving up the Fortune 500 list to 241st compared to 261st in 2009. This was based on its 2009 revenue of $10,383 million (a change of -1 million compared to 2010) and profits of $316 million (a change of $75 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 Starbucks Corporation would be ranked 246th rather than 241st due to its profits of $391 in 2010.
