Texas leadsthe nation with its 57 Fortune 500 headquarters and $2.8 trillion in combined revenue, per a newly released Fortune 500 list.
Why it matters: The count is expected to rise in the coming years as more companies establish their main offices in Texas.
Context: The Fortune 500 list ranks companies by revenue. Amazon has ended Walmart's 13-year streak to become the country's largest company based on revenue.
Zoom in: Irving-based McKesson is the eighth-largest Fortune 500 company in the country, an improvement from the ninth spot last year.
AT&T is No. 35 this year, moving up two spots from the 2025 ranking. The telecom giant is among Dallas' 11 Fortune 500 companies but will eventually move to Plano, which has just one company headquarters in the top 500.
The intrigue: Samsung confirmed this week that it plans to move its U.S. headquarters from New Jersey to its Plano campus by the end of the year.
Samsung says the move will build on a 30-year presence in Texas, positioning the company for "long-term growth and future success."
What they're saying: "Texas is the undisputed headquarters of headquarters," Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement.
He said companies are drawn to Texas "because of our welcoming business climate, predictable regulatory environment, and skilled and growing workforce."
