The combined revenues of the companies on the 2026 Fortune 500 Europe list hit a record high of $15.5 trillion this year, equivalent to half of Europe’s GDP.
The list, now in its fourth year, ranks the continent’s largest companies by revenue. Despite fiercer global competition, geopolitical instability, and technological disruption over the past year, the companies on the list have proven resilient. Profits returned to growth this year, rising 3% to just over $1 trillion, after a 5% decline in 2025.
