Not Ranked
That looks like one of the charts I saw when I first reported #35. Same type of chart, perhaps using different data points, showed #9 and #28.
This is a good example of how miss leading "polls" and "charts" can be and why they should be taken with a grain of salt. In almost every case you could find a poll, chart, a pundits blog, a respected news source or some other "worthy" article to back up what ever point you are trying to make.
On the internet, you can find it!  Which is primarily why I don't put a lot of stock in poll numbers. Unfortunately they DO have significant influence on the politicians, much more than they should is my concern. Kind of a "short sided" approach to "investment" if you would. I prefer to think long term, not short term. I think the short term thinking is a large part of our current economic crisis.
No matter how you rank it, any company would LOVE to be in the Top 50 profit earners in the US, heck I'd settle for #51 in a heart beat!
