How these rankings work
- Source. The financial statements companies file with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in their 10-K, 10-Q, 20-F and 40-F reports, read every week from the SEC's public EDGAR data.
- Trailing twelve months. Revenue, net income and dividends cover the latest four quarters: the last fiscal year, plus this year's quarters so far, minus the same quarters a year earlier. Companies that report only once a year, as most foreign companies do, show their last fiscal year, marked FY.
- Which companies. The 1,000 largest by revenue among companies whose shares or ADRs are listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq, Cboe or the Texas Stock Exchange. Funds, trusts, blank-check companies and preferred shares are left out.
- Currencies. Figures reported in other currencies are converted to US dollars at the latest reference exchange rate.
- Market cap. The latest share price times the shares outstanding stated on the cover of the company's latest 10-Q or 10-K. For companies with several share classes, such as Alphabet, Meta, Berkshire Hathaway and Visa, every class is counted, converted into the class whose price is shown. Market cap, P/E and dividend yield are available for the companies whose share prices Sonic Wallet tracks.
- Banks. Banks that don't report a total revenue figure are ranked by net interest income plus non-interest income.
