All About the Revenue

I have previously worked for another government contractor. Checked out their latest earnings report. They wanted to show where they stood compared to other companies. Here were some megacorps that were out of their league when you consider revenue:

• $115B Hewlett Packard
• $103B IBM
• $76B Microsoft

Then there were a bunch of companies in the same arena in terms of revenue as my prior company:

• $28B Accentue
• $25B Northrop Grumman
• $24B Raytheon
• $15B CSC
• $13B L-3
• $11B SAIC

Some of these stats threw me. Who knew HP took in so much money? And both HP and IBM beat out Microsoft. I was also surprised that L-3 and SAIC were as big as they were. I thought they were tiny compared to say a Northrop Grumman.
