These 10 countries have only one Fortune Global 500 company  

But other countries have only one that made this year’s list of top companies worldwide by revenue. 

This year, 10 countries fit that category. In nine of those cases, the company in question belonged to the energy sector. And in some cases, those companies were truly enormous. Although Saudi Aramco was the only company from Saudi Arabia to make the list, that company also took the Fortune title of “most profitable,” with around $105 billion in profits, and ranked No. 6 on the list overall, with $400 billion in revenue in 2021. 

Many of the companies on the list this year have long legacies in the Global 500. Equinor, from Norway, is making its 28th appearance this year, while Petronas in Malaysia is making its 26th.
