Although the Walt Disney Co. tops the charts in terms of profit, General Electric Co. dominates in terms of revenue with 128,051 million dollars in year 2000, $180,929 million in 2008 and $149,060 million in 2010. This at least triples the revenue of Disney in any year. However, we cannot make judgments yet, we still need to know how much of a percentage the profit is of the revenue.
GE had a 12.8% return on revenue of profit in year 2000 while Disney received 9.8%. However, the earliest statistics show that GE got an 8.5% return on revenue of profit while Disney had a 10.4%.
Then why is Walt Disney still on top? Because General Electric has a broader range of supplies -goes even beyond entertaining- so when you balance between the ratios, it will be apparent that the revenue Disney is receiving is massive relative to the number of products and services the company offers in comparison with GE which produces a lot more than Disney while Disney remains a clear competitor.
I think Disney's numbers are pretty impressive. For them to remain in a close race for the #1 spot against G.E is amazing considering the G.E's vast variety of services. Being a clear competitor to a company that provides services in various industries proves that Disney is one of the top companies in the media industry that could be recommended.
