Famous international companies list. American companies are thriving in Russia, what's the shame in that? IT geniuses. Microsoft

When the Democratic National Committee decided to turn its contempt for Bernie Sanders into contempt for the Russians and Donald Trump, the New York billionaire was said to regularly share beds with Russian oligarchs and dream of making deals with Moscow. But since when has it become a bad thing to want to do business with Russians?

Today, the rules of political correctness require you to hate Russia. If you love her even a little, then you support Vladimir Putin or are under the impression of the Russian mafia. And you probably hate polar bears or something.

But if doing business with Russians or even wanting to do it is very bad, then maybe these companies need to reel in and run before the righteous threaten them with a boycott and defame their names in the press?

That's who's doing business with the bad guys.

On July 13, Pfizer entered into a joint venture agreement with the Russian pharmaceutical company NovaMedica.

good weather in Russian economy

Putin is the enemy of his economy

Bloomberg 27.07.2016
Boeing has been operating in Russia for decades. About five years ago, this company announced its plans to invest $27 billion in Russia over the next 30 years. In July 2015, an agreement was signed on joint R&D (Research and Development) projects between Russian manufacturer titanium "VSMPO-Avisma", Boeing and Ural Federal University.

Ford has been operating in Russia for 13 years. In April 2015, the Russian-American joint venture Ford Sollers began production of the Ford Transit. Last year, the American firm launched the production of four new cars in Russia, including the Focus and Fiesta models sold on the Russian market.

Among the American companies operating in Russia are PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, McDonald's, Mondelez International, General Motors, Johnson & Johnson, Cargill, Alcoa, and General Electric. The latter recently signed a joint venture agreement with the oil company Rosneft, in the expectation that someday Washington will lift sanctions on oil firms.

According to Knight Frank, the main American investor in Russian real estate is not Trump International, but Morgan Stanley. In April, the Morgan Stanley-controlled fund began talks to acquire Moscow-based several shopping centers. That same month, her real estate investment fund bought the Metropolis office building in Moscow from Kazakhstani developer Capital Partners for $1.2 billion.

American retailers also continue to develop their commercial ties with Russia. Over the past two years, many new American brands have entered the Russian market, including Forever 21 and Crate & Barrel in 2014.

American food companies are also expanding their business, although Russia is actively annexing Ukrainian territories and arming rebels in the Donbass, for which sanctions were imposed on it in 2014. Starbucks opened its 100th location in Russia last year. In 2013, Krispy Kreme opened its first confectionery. Now there are five of them.

As the New York Times wrote in April 2015, even the Clinton Foundation back in 2013 was very fond of Russians. From 2009 to 2013, the Russian state-owned company Rosatom acquired Canadian Uranium One under separate contracts in three stages. According to information from Canada, this was done on the recommendation of Hillary Clinton. And then to the foundation of Hillary and her husband, former president USA Bill Clinton, received a donation of 2.35 million dollars.

In other words, Russians can't be that bad.

Of course, not everyone wants to work in Russia. Yes, everything is not needed there. CEO Carlyle Group billionaire David Rubenstein told Bloomberg TV in October that it was too risky to work there. And then he took his leave and closed his business in Russia.

In September 2014, the American investment firm Blackstone left Russia, two months before the ruble halved from 35 to 75 rubles to the dollar.

Now ask the New York real estate dealers if they would turn their backs on a Russian buyer because, you know, he's from a country run by oligarchs and—ah! — Putin, or Putler, as some call him.

The most expensive New York apartment sold in 2014 for $100.5 million. It was bought by a man whose name is not known. This is a penthouse in a 90-story building in Midtown on 57th Street. Many apartments there are owned by wealthy Russians. Another high-profile deal took place in 2011, when a Russian buyer purchased an $88 million penthouse in a building near Central Park.

London is called Londongrad, and with good reason. The most expensive real estate there is bought mainly by Russians. Now ask the London developers whether it is good or bad to sell housing to Russians.

Trump claims he has no business in Russia. But Morgan Stanley, which donated $148,660 to Hillary's campaign in 2008, according to the Open Secrets website, could have told Donald, "That's a shame."

American Forbes has prepared its annual ranking of the 2000 largest public companies in the world. In its calculations, Forbes equally took into account four indicators: revenue, profit, asset size and market capitalization.

The total indicators of those included in the fresh list over the past year have increased markedly. Together, the rating participants generated $32 trillion in revenue (an increase of $2 trillion), and the total profit amounted to $2.4 trillion compared to $1.4 trillion a year earlier. Assets 2000 largest corporations Forbes estimated it at $138 trillion, and the total capitalization at $38 trillion.

The United States continues to have the largest representation, with 536 companies on the list. American leadership does not raise any questions so far: from the main competitor - Japan - 260 companies got into the rating. In addition, if in the first hundred American companies took 28 places at once, then Japanese companies only five. At the same time, the largest of them - Nippon Telegraph & Tel - is located only in 48th place. The US and Japan are followed by China (121 companies), Canada (67 companies) and South Korea (61 companies).

Representatives of the financial sector dominate in the rating (480 companies). Huge assets, of course, their main trump card. Oil and gas companies are far behind — there are 127 of them in the ranking. In terms of profit growth, insurance companies take the first place (624%), semiconductor manufacturers (45%) in terms of revenue growth, auto concerns (57%) in terms of capitalization growth.

JPMorgan Chase ranked first for the second year in a row. Over the year, JPMorgan improved its results a little more: revenue amounted to $115.48 billion ($115.63 billion - last year), profit of $17.37 billion ($11.65 billion), assets of $2117 billion ($2031 billion), capitalization of $182.21 billion ($166.19 billion a year ago). At the same time, these indicators can hardly be called outstanding separately - JPMorgan does not even get into the top 10 in any of them.

Second place is now occupied by HSBC. The rapid growth of profits helped the British bank to rise from the eighth line: from $5.83 billion to $13.3 billion. GE's revenue for the year decreased from $156.78 billion to $150.21 billion, and the value of assets from $781 billion to $751 billion.

This is followed by three oil companies: ExxonMobil (the world leader in capitalization - $ 407.2 billion), the Dutch Shell and the Chinese PetroChina. ICBC, China's largest bank, ranks 7th with revenues of $69.19 billion, ICBC's profit was $18.84 billion. Warren Buffett's investment fund Berkshire Hathaway, Brazil's state oil company Petrobras-Petróleo Brasil, and bank Citigroup round out the top ten.

Quantity Russian companies in the list was reduced by two - to 26. Three managed to break into the first hundred: Gazprom (15th place), Lukoil (71st) and Rosneft (77th). Gazprom, in addition, turned out to be the third company in terms of profit - $ 25.72 billion. Only ExxonMobil ($ 30.46 billion) and Nestle ($ 36.65 billion) earned more than the Russian gas giant.

Economic crises, military conflicts, political instability and other negative factors do not have a significant impact on them. The most successful companies in the world are the backbone of the global economy, some of them earning as much as the GDP of small developing countries.

The success of a company is measured by three indicators:

profit;
asset value;
capitalization size.

For young, fast-growing companies, experts have introduced an indicator that assesses how much assets have increased since the day they were founded.
