Good morning. Fortune published its Global 500 list this morning, our annual ranking of the world’s largest companies. Combined, they generated $41.7 trillion in revenue last year, with $2.98 trillion in profit—the second-most-profitable year since the Global 500 launched in 1990. (Fortune’s international ranking debuted in 1976 but originally excluded U.S. companies.)
