Alcoa's rank changes

The company's ranking in 2010 was a decline from 2009 when it was ranked 90th on the Fortune 500. The Previous ranking was based on its 2009 revenue of $28,119 million (a change of -10 million compared to 2010) and profits of $-74 million (a change of 73 million compared to 2010).

Another point of view

To many investors, profits are more important than revenue a company earns, If the Fortune 500 was ranked by profits instead of revenue then Alcoa would be ranked 470th rather than 127th due to the fact it made a loss of $-1,151 million in 2010.
