The Global 5000 Database announced an update activity for the Global 5000 database for year-end of 2016.
Global 5000 have now achieved the goal of a full 5,000 records that are active, researched and updated within the past 12 months. As it discovers new companies with significant revenue, it will start raising the bottom floor for annual revenues (currently at $500 million) to be included in the Global 5000.
Harry Henry, founder of Global 5000 stated: “During Q4 we added 147 new companies to the database and deleted 57 records primarily due to M&A activity. For the year, we added 467 records and removed 172. I expect this addition rate to slow as it is getting more challenging to find new companies at this size that we don’t already have.
Continuing to match various published lists, we completed a match and comparison to the Forbes Global 2000 – Forbes’ ranking of 2000 public companies around the world.
