The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) region continues to strengthen its position as one of the nation’s leading business hubs, according to the latest Fortune rankings of the biggest public companies in the U.S.
This year, DFW added two companies to the Fortune 500, bringing the region’s total to 24. New additions include Somnigroup International and Keurig Dr Pepper. Across the broader Fortune 1000 list, the region is now home to 49 companies, with Public Storage, Vistance Networks and Invitation Homes among the newest additions.
Behind the rankings is a diverse mix of companies that continue to choose DFW as a place to grow and invest. The region’s Fortune 500 companies span 32 different industry sectors, generating nearly $1.1 trillion in combined annual revenue and employing more than 1.3 million people worldwide.
DFW is also home to one of the nation’s most influential corporate headquarters: McKesson, which ranks among the Fortune 10. Notably, no U.S. metro larger than DFW is home to a Fortune 10 company.
The region’s continued momentum comes as Texas reclaimed its position as the state with the most Fortune 500 headquarters in the nation. By surpassing California, Texas continues to strengthen its reputation as a leading destination for corporate investment, talent and innovation.
For DFW, these rankings reinforce a long-term trend. Companies across industries continue to choose the region because of its strategic location, business climate, talent pipeline, ability to support growth and overall quality of life. As new companies establish headquarters and existing employers expand, DFW’s concentration of major corporations continues to fuel investment, job creation and economic opportunity throughout the region.
With 24 Fortune 500 and 49 Fortune 1000 companies now calling the region home, DFW’s influence as a corporate powerhouse continues to scale.
