Aramark Corporation' rank improves

The company ranking improved in 2010, moving up the Fortune 500 list to 189th compared to 198th in 2009. This was based on its 2009 revenue of $13,470 million (a change of -1 million compared to 2010) and profits of $40 million (a change of $-47 million compared to 2009).

Another point of view

To many investors, profits are more important than revenue a company earns, If the Fortune 500 was ranked by profits instead of revenue then Aramark Corporation would be ranked 402nd rather than 189th due to the fact it made a loss of $-7 million in 2010.
