Ernie, the aforementioned Fortune list is a
ranking of industries by profit;
not a ranking of companies.
If you are settling for number 51 in the ranking, your profit--as expressed as a percentage of revenues--would be negative 10%; so you'd be losing money.
Incidentally, the Fortune 500 is a ranking of the largest companies in the US. The list to which I attached a link is a separate ranking of entire industries (not individual companies).
