6 Austin companies earn spots on 2025 Forbes Global 2000 list

Austin-based Tesla ranks No. 69 among the world’s 2,000 biggest publicly traded companies.
More than 60 Texas-based companies appear on Forbes’ 2025 list of the world’s 2,000 biggest publicly traded companies, and six are from Austin.
With a global ranking of No. 66, Oracle is the highest-rated Austin company on the list. It is followed closely by Austin-based Tesla, which earns a global ranking of No. 69. Both are among the top five highest-ranked companies in Texas.
Forbes compiled this year’s Global 2000 list using data from FactSet Research to analyze the biggest public companies based on four metrics: sales, profit, assets, and market value.
Among Texas companies whose stock is publicly traded, Spring-based ExxonMobil is the highest-ranked at No. 13 globally, followed by another Houston-based company, Chevron (No. 30). Dallas-based AT&T is third in Texas (No. 35 globally).
Ranking first in the world is New York City-based J.P. Morgan Chase.
“The annual Forbes Global 2000 list features the companies shaping today’s global markets and moving them worldwide,” said Hank Tucker, a staff writer at Forbes. “This year’s list showcases how despite a complex geopolitical landscape, globalization has continued to fuel decades of economic growth, with the world’s largest companies more than tripling in size across multiple measures in the past 20 years.”
The U.S. topped the list with 612 companies, followed by China with 317 and Japan with 180.
