Composition of the ranking
The Mexican top ten combines three kinds of company. Two are state-owned energy companies, Pemex and the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE), both of which Fortune lists as government-owned at 50% or more. Three are Mexican subsidiaries of foreign groups: Walmart de México y Centroamérica, General Motors de México and BBVA México. The remaining five are Mexican-headquartered groups: América Móvil, FEMSA, Banorte, Grupo Bimbo and Grupo BAL.
Grupo BAL entered the top ten in the 2026 edition, displacing Stellantis México, which had been tenth in the previous edition.
Methodology
Entries are the ten highest-ranked companies in Expansión's 2026 ranking of the 500 most important companies in Mexico, in Expansión's order. Expansión ranks companies operating in Mexico by sales or revenue for 2025 in Mexican pesos and includes subsidiaries of foreign companies as well as state-owned enterprises. The rank and sales figure for each entry are taken from Campestre's report of the ranking, which cites Expansión.
The list is limited to ten entries because the full Expansión table could not be accessed for verification; positions below tenth are not shown rather than estimated. For banks, the figure is the revenue that Expansión reports for the bank, which is not directly comparable with the sales of non-financial companies.
Supplementary figures (employees, chief executives and US dollar revenue) come from the 2026 Fortune Global 500 and the 2026 Forbes Global 2000, and are not used for the ordering.
