Nokia ranks 147 with $26.2 billion in revenue (down 0.2%). The Finland-headquartered network and other communications equipment company has 86,896 employees and made a profit of $4.5 billion (up 132.9%).

Just as it dominates our economy, Big Tech now dominates Fortune’s annual ranking of corporate reputation.

Total revenue for the world’s biggest companies fell 4.8% to $31.7 trillion this year—the first decline in half a decade.

Nokia, led since early 2020 by CEO Pekka Lundmark and chairwoman Sari Baldauf, continues to be one of the world’s top telecommunications equipment suppliers, jostling with Ericsson for second place behind market leader Huawei. The company has been on a downward trajectory lately, with sales dropping 4% last year—though that was partly owing to pandemic-related delays in network deployments. Early in 2021, Nokia found itself among the “meme stocks” being embraced by retail investors, alongside the likes of GameStop and AMC.

Business insiders have spoken: Asked which companies they most admire, more than 4,100 executives, directors, and analysts chose these top 50 All-Stars.

Global business is back. After limping through a worldwide financial crisis and economic slowdown, the 500 largest companies ranked by revenues shattered all sorts of performance records in 2013: They racked up combined revenues of $31.1 trillion, up 2.5% from 2012, and profits soared 27% to nearly $2 trillion. China’s 95 companies (up from 89 last year) posted $5.8 trillion in revenues. The U.S. has four fewer companies on the list than last year but remains (for now) the country leader, with 128 corporations on the list—including No. 1 Wal-Mart Stores—reporting $8.6 trillion in revenues.
