Latin Trade presents the Top 500 Latin American companies ranking
MIAMI, July 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Total revenue of the Top 500 Latin American companies dropped 7 percent to $2.54 trillion in 2014, reflecting the hurdles faced by the region's businesses last year.
This is one of the results of this year's Latin 500, the ranking of Latin America's 500 largest non-financial firms in US-dollar revenue terms released by the Latin Trade Group.
Energy companies maintained their position as leaders, posting an average revenue growth of 3 percent to $775.8 billion. Argentina's YPF is a notable example, with its revenue and profits soaring 20 and 34 percent respectively, boosted by domestic sales of oil derivatives.
Another good performer is US-based energy company AES, which registered the highest growth rate among companies headquartered outside of Latin America, boosted by the vertical integration of its Chilean business.
However, one of the sectors that faced the most challenges was retail. The year was particularly bad for France-based Casino, with a 14 percent revenue drop compared with 2013.
The Latin 500 ranking includes the complete list of companies, as well as sections divided by biggest winners and losers, top energy companies, top retailers, top foreign-based companies and the top 10 profit kings.
