Delphi Corporation's rank changes

The company's ranking in 2009 was a decline from 2008 when it was ranked 92nd on the Fortune 500. The Previous ranking was based on its 2008 revenue of $26,160 million (a change of -6 million compared to 2009) and profits of $-3,065 million (a change of 6 million compared to 2009).

Another point of view

To many investors, profits are more important than the revenue a company earns. If the Fortune 500 was ranked by profits instead of revenue then Delphi Corporation would be ranked 46th rather than 121st due to its profits of $3,037 in 2009.

Ones to watch

In order to take 120th position in the Fortune 500, Delphi Corporation will need to overtake Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.'s revenue. With $21,366 million earned by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., Delphi Corporation requires an improvement of $1 million to move up the list. Next in line to take Delphi Corporation's place in 2011 was 122nd ranked Eli Lilly and Co with revenues of $20,378 million, which needed to earn $0 million more in order to catch up to Delphi Corporation's ranking.
