Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) continues to lead as a national business hub, according to the latest Fortune rankings of the biggest public companies in the U.S.
This year, two DFW companies joined the Fortune 500, Somnigroup International and Keurig Dr Pepper, bringing the metro’s total to 24. Across the broader Fortune 1000 list, DFW is now home to 49 companies, with recent additions like Public Storage, Vistance Networks and Invitation Homes.
Behind these rankings is a diverse mix of companies saying yes to Dallas. DFW’s Fortune 1000 companies span 32 different industry sectors, and the Fortune 500 companies generate nearly $1.1 trillion in combined annual revenue and employ more than 1.3 million people worldwide.
DFW is also home to one of the nation’s most influential corporate headquarters: McKesson, which ranks among the Fortune 10. In fact, no U.S. metro larger than DFW is home to a Fortune 10 company.
With these new rankings, Texas reclaimed its position as the state with the most Fortune 500 headquarters in the U.S., surpassing California. As the state’s business environment grows, DFW stands out as the place to be for corporate investment, job creation and a warm welcome for newcomers.
