There was some jostling atop the list in 2023, but Walmart held the top spot for the eleventh year in a row, generating $5.7 trillion cumulative revenue over that time. Steady at No. 2 for the fourth straight year, Amazon.com saw a 9% jump in revenue, eclipsing the $510 billion mark. At No. 3 with a 45% jump in revenue, Exxon Mobil bumped Apple to No. 4; but with $99.8 billion in profits in 2022, Apple remains the most profitable company on the list for the eighth time in the past nine years. UnitedHealth Group is the highest-ranked healthcare company on the list at No. 5, followed by CVS Health at No. 6. CVS Health CEO Karen Lynch continues to make Fortune 500 history at the helm of the highest-ranked company ever led by a female CEO. Berkshire Hathaway, Alphabet, and McKesson all held steady at Nos. 7, 8, and 9, respectively. Fueled by a 52% jump in annual revenue, Chevron moved back into the top ten for the first time since 2015 for No. 10.

The companies on this year's list are based in 224 different cities spread across 38 states. As the headquarters of 55 Fortune 500 companies, Texas holds onto its spot as home to the most Fortune 500 companies for its second year. California, at No. 2 with 53 companies, bumped New York to No. 3 with 50. New York City, home to 40 companies, is the top-ranked municipality followed by Houston with 22, Atlanta with 15, Chicago with 13, and Dallas with 11. See the complete Fortune 500 List here.

In her foreword to the June/July 2023 issue of Fortune, Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell writes, "There are signs of progress—slow, but real—in this year's Fortune 500. Fifty-two women run companies on the list, up from 44 at this time last year, meaning more than 10% of the nation's biggest businesses are run by the 'opposite sex' for the first time ever. […] There are also more Black CEOs running Fortune 500s than ever before—but it's shameful to say that there are still only eight."
