10. 沃尔玛超市（Wal-Mart Stores）

Wal-Mart Stores

财富美国五百强排名：2

2011年盈利：157亿美元

    曾经盛极一时的零售巨头沃尔玛公司今年走下财富美国五百强榜首宝座，在盈利能力最强公司排行榜上也下降了四个位次。现在公司还面临对其墨西哥公司贿赂问题的法律诉讼。海外业务对公司增长依然很关键。2011年沃尔玛国际业务净销售额提高了12%，最主要是源自巴中国和墨西哥市场的业务增长。

11. 通用电气公司（General Electric）

Fortune 500 rank: 2

2011 profit: $15.7 billion

    The retail giant has certainly had better years. Wal-Mart lost its top spot on this year's Fortune 500, fell four spots on our most profitable ranking, and is now dealing with bribery allegations related to its operations in Mexico. Just the same, business abroad has been essential to its growth. Net sales for the Wal-Mart International increased by 12% in 2011, with Brazil, China, and Mexico contributing some of the largest increases.
