As filed
Facts as filed with the SEC, and our arithmetic on them. Not investment advice.
A company that files this figure under a label we do not read is not ranked, so some large payers are missing.
A company is placed in the calendar year its fiscal year ends in; a year ending in the first week of January is placed in the year before. A company's own page can name a year ending before the end of June for the year before, so a year shown here as 2025 can be 2024 on its page.
2025 is not final: some filers have not filed that year or have stopped filing; a value after a filer's newest revenue figure is not counted. The newest fiscal year end among the rows is .

What does the ranking leave out, and where is it from?Limits and source
What this number cannot tell you
- Only values above zero are ranked, the largest first; equal values share a rank. The sum of 2025 holds 1,890 SEC filers that give a value in US dollars, foreign filers that report in US dollars included.
- A name that is a link is a company of the set that has had revenue of one billion dollars or more in the SEC data we read, and has a page here. Any other name is text: the filer is outside that set.
- A company that files this figure under a label we do not read is not ranked, so some large payers are missing.
- A parent and a subsidiary that both file are both counted, so a subsidiary's own figures are counted again inside its parent's. A company is counted once when two filing numbers give the same figure for the same period under the same name apart from its legal form (Inc, Corp, plc); a company that also changed its name is counted under both.
- A reviewed list of 65 trusts and funds whose shares trade like stocks is left out; others of the kind may still be counted.
- A company is placed in the calendar year its fiscal year ends in; a year ending in the first week of January is placed in the year before. The fiscal year end shown can be any day from 8 January 2025 to 7 January 2026. A company's own page can name a year ending before the end of June for the year before, so a year shown here as 2025 can be 2024 on its page. 2025 is not final: some filers have not filed that year or have stopped filing; a value after a filer's newest revenue figure is not counted.
