It is followed by Thailand&#8217;s state energy company PTT (No. 2, US$81.0 billion), Indonesia&#8217;s Pertamina (No. 3, US$70.9 billion), Singapore-based agribusiness giant Wilmar International (No. 4, US$70.4 billion), and fellow Singapore company Olam Group (No. 5, US$51.5 billion). Three of the top five are headquartered in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>Vietnam was the ranking&#8217;s standout growth story. The country&#8217;s 72 companies generated US$177.9 billion in aggregate revenue, up 10.5% year-over-year \u2014 triple the regional average. Despite representing less than 10% of the overall revenue base, Vietnam&#8217;s companies contributed roughly a quarter of this year&#8217;s total revenue growth across the entire ranking.<\/p>\n<p>Thailand leads all countries with 105 companies on the list, narrowly ahead of Indonesia&#8217;s 104. Singapore&#8217;s 82 companies generate the ranking&#8217;s highest aggregate national revenue at US$657.6 billion. Malaysia accounts for 93 companies, Vietnam 72, the Philippines 42 \u2014 up two from last year \u2014 and Cambodia 2.<\/p>\n<p>Energy remained the dominant sector by revenue at 31.5% across 57 companies, led by the state-linked oil and gas majors that have anchored the list since its 2024 launch. Financials ranked second by company count with 76 companies, contributing 16.2% of revenue. Yet the story flips when considering profits: Energy players accounted for 15.7% of profits on the list compared to 43% for Financials. Among the 34 new entrants, Thailand added the most with nine, followed by Malaysia with eight; Financials and Engineering &amp; Construction each contributed six.<\/p>\n<p>The revenue threshold for the 2026 Fortune Southeast Asia 500 rose to US$440.6 million \u2014 26% higher than last year&#8217;s. The 500 companies collectively generated US$1.878 trillion in revenue for fiscal year 2025, up 3.4% from the comparable figures in last year&#8217;s published list, with combined profits of US$150.0 billion. Concentration at the top remains pronounced: the top five companies account for US$514.1 billion in revenue (27.4% of the total); the top 20 account for US$850.4 billion (45.3%).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What this year&#8217;s Southeast Asia 500 really tells us is that the region is starting to decouple from its commodity identity. The corporate center of gravity is moving toward finance, technology, and a new tier of national champions,&#8221; notes <b>Andrew Staples, Editorial Director, Asia<\/b>. &#8220;The fourth edition, in 2027, will tell us whether 2026 marked the start of a genuine reordering of the Southeast Asian corporate landscape \u2014 or simply a particularly good year for the region&#8217;s emerging tier,&#8221; he adds.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty-four new companies joined the ranking, including two Singapore-headquartered bitcoin miners making their first appearance on the list. Bitdeer Technologies Group (No. 401) with US$620.3 million in revenue, and BitFuFu (No. 475) with US$477.5 million, are the first crypto-mining companies ever to qualify for the Fortune Southeast Asia 500, a sign that the region&#8217;s corporate landscape is broadening into new categories even as the bar to compete rises sharply.<\/p>\n<p>Among movers, Yanlord Land fell 98 places as revenue dropped 60.5%, and Lopez Holdings fell 94 places on a 49.5% revenue decline. On the upside, both standout risers came from Indonesia: Hartadinata Abadi climbed 115 places on revenue growth of 135%, while Barito Pacific rose 102 places on growth of 220%.<\/p>\n<p>Among the 500 companies, 40 are led by female CEOs \u2014 including Tan Su Shan of DBS (No. 8), who ranks sixth globally and first in Asia on Fortune&#8217;s 2026 Most Powerful Women in Business list.<\/p>\n<p>In his introduction to the new list in the June\/July issue of Fortune Asia magazine, <b>editor, Asia, Nick Gordon<\/b> notes, the Fortune Southeast Asia 500 captures &#8220;Southeast Asia shrugged off tariffs and trade protectionism last year to remain one of the world&#8217;s most dynamic regions. Southeast Asian countries are vital nodes in global supply chains; foreign investment from both Asia and the West is pouring in; and the region&#8217;s young, mobile-savvy consumers are driving domestic spending.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 Fortune Southeast Asia 500 list and stories are available internationally on <a href=\"https:\/\/edge.prnewswire.com\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4711567-1&amp;h=4061374088&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Ffortune.com%2Fasia%2F&amp;a=Fortune.com%2Fasia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Fortune.com\/asia<\/a> and on newsstands across Asia starting\u00a0today, June 16.

Yet the story flips when considering profits: Energy players accounted for 15.7% of profits on the list compared to 43% for Financials. Among the 34 new entrants, Thailand added the most with nine, followed by Malaysia with eight; Financials and Engineering &amp; Construction each contributed six.<\/p>\n<p>The revenue threshold for the 2026 Fortune Southeast Asia 500 rose to US$440.6 million \u2014 26% higher than last year&#8217;s. The 500 companies collectively generated US$1.878 trillion in revenue for fiscal year 2025, up 3.4% from the comparable figures in last year&#8217;s published list, with combined profits of US$150.0 billion. Concentration at the top remains pronounced: the top five companies account for US$514.1 billion in revenue (27.4% of the total); the top 20 account for US$850.4 billion (45.3%).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What this year&#8217;s Southeast Asia 500 really tells us is that the region is starting to decouple from its commodity identity. The corporate center of gravity is moving toward finance, technology, and a new tier of national champions,&#8221; notes <b>Andrew Staples, Editorial Director, Asia<\/b>. &#8220;The fourth edition, in 2027, will tell us whether 2026 marked the start of a genuine reordering of the Southeast Asian corporate landscape \u2014 or simply a particularly good year for the region&#8217;s emerging tier,&#8221; he adds.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty-four new companies joined the ranking, including two Singapore-headquartered bitcoin miners making their first appearance on the list. Bitdeer Technologies Group (No. 401) with US$620.3 million in revenue, and BitFuFu (No. 475) with US$477.5 million, are the first crypto-mining companies ever to qualify for the Fortune Southeast Asia 500, a sign that the region&#8217;s corporate landscape is broadening into new categories even as the bar to compete rises sharply.<\/p>\n<p>Among movers, Yanlord Land fell 98 places as revenue dropped 60.5%, and Lopez Holdings fell 94 places on a 49.5% revenue decline. On the upside, both standout risers came from Indonesia: Hartadinata Abadi climbed 115 places on revenue growth of 135%, while Barito Pacific rose 102 places on growth of 220%.<\/p>\n<p>Among the 500 companies, 40 are led by female CEOs \u2014 including Tan Su Shan of DBS (No. 8), who ranks sixth globally and first in Asia on Fortune&#8217;s 2026 Most Powerful Women in Business list.<\/p>\n<p>In his introduction to the new list in the June\/July issue of Fortune Asia magazine, <b>editor, Asia, Nick Gordon<\/b> notes, the Fortune Southeast Asia 500 captures &#8220;Southeast Asia shrugged off tariffs and trade protectionism last year to remain one of the world&#8217;s most dynamic regions. Southeast Asian countries are vital nodes in global supply chains; foreign investment from both Asia and the West is pouring in; and the region&#8217;s young, mobile-savvy consumers are driving domestic spending.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 Fortune Southeast Asia 500 list and stories are available internationally on <a href=\"https:\/\/edge.prnewswire.com\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4711567-1&amp;h=4061374088&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Ffortune.com%2Fasia%2F&amp;a=Fortune.com%2Fasia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Fortune.com\/asia<\/a> and on newsstands across Asia starting\u00a0today, June 16.
