Data notes & caveats
The comparison uses latest reported fiscal years because company fiscal year ends differ. Values are kept as raw US$ billions rather than converted into shares.
Methodology
Rows are ranked by net income or profit for the year from the source brief. No denominator is used, so the graphic remains a raw leaderboard.
Source consistency notes
Rows combine company filings, official reports and reputable financial-news extracts where cross-currency values were needed.
