The company ranking improved in 2010, moving up the Fortune 500 list to 353rd compared to 419th in 2009. This was based on its 2009 revenue of $5,874 million (a change of 1 million compared to 2010) and profits of $464 million (a change of $-470 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 Symantec would be ranked 493rd rather than 353rd due to the fact it made a loss of $-6,729 million in 2010.
