St. Paul-CHS Inc. reports that it is now the 72nd largest U.S. company according to the Fortune 500 ranking for 2009. Based on fiscal 2008 revenues of $32.2 billion, CHS jumped 73 spots from its 2008 position at 145. ExxonMobil, with revenues of $442.8 billion, ranked number one, followed by Wal-Mart stores. Fortune magazine has ranked the nation’s largest publicly-traded companies since 1955. While CHS is predominately owned by farmers, ranchers, and member cooperatives, its fixed rate preferred stock – which trades on the NASDAQ exchange – qualifies it for inclusion in the Fortune listing.
