Nine Philly-area companies, including Comcast and Burlington, made this year’s Fortune 500
In all, 37 companies headquartered in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware made the annual list.
Nine Philadelphia-area companies, including Comcast and Aramark, secured spots in this year’s Fortune 500, which ranks the country’s top businesses based on revenue.
All nine local companies made repeat appearances on the annual list — even QVC Group, currently in bankruptcy.
But there was a shake-up at the top of the national ranking, where ecommerce behemoth Amazon unseated Walmart from its longstanding no. 1 spot.
The discount retailer had ranked first for 13 straight years, but could not match Amazon’s 12% year-over-year growth in revenue. Amazon recorded $717 billion in revenue last year, while Walmart brought in $713 billion.
UnitedHealth Group, Apple, and Alphabet rounded out the top five.
Here‘s how each local company fared:
No. 10: Cencora, the Conshohocken-based pharmaceutical company formerly known as AmerisourceBergen, which recorded $321 billion in revenue last year
No. 37: Comcast Corp., the Philadelphia-based telecommunications giant that recorded $124 billion in revenue last year
No. 235: Aramark, the Philadelphia-based food and beverage provider that recorded $19 billion in revenue last year
No. 243: Lincoln National, the Radnor-based financial services company that recorded $18 billion in revenue last year
No. 255: Universal Health Services, the King of Prussia-based operator of acute-care hospitals and behavioral health facilities that recorded $17 billion in revenue last year
No. 383: Burlington Stores, the South Jersey-based discount retailer that recorded $12 billion in revenue last year
No. 399: Toll Brothers, the Fort Washington-based luxury homebuilder that recorded $11 billion in revenue last year
No. 413: Campbell’s, the Camden-based food and beverage company formerly known as Campbell’s Soup Co., which recorded $10 billion in revenue last year
No. 433: QVC Group, the West Chester-based home shopping network that recorded $9 billion in revenue last year before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April.
In Delaware, DuPont, the Wilmington-based chemical company, dropped 142 spots to no. 481. Its revenue dropped 34% to $8 billion last year as it spun off electronic company Qnity.
In all, 37 companies headquartered in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware landed on the Fortune 500 this year.
They include the North Jersey pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson, which ranked no. 45 with $94 billion in revenue; Pittsburgh-based PNC Financial Services Group, which came in at no. 136 with $34 billion in revenue; Dick’s Sporting Goods, based outside Pittsburgh, which ranked at no. 258 with $17.2 billion in revenue.
While national consumer sentiment recently hit a record low, these top businesses are reporting record highs. The Fortune 500 had combined 2025 revenue of $21 trillion and $2.1 trillion in profits, up from $19.9 trillion in revenue and $1.87 trillion in profits for last year’s 500.
Together they employ 30.5 million people, slightly fewer than last year’s Fortune 500 companies did.
