The smallest country on the Southeast Asia 500 generated the most revenue
Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy in terms of both GDP and population, has the biggest footprint on the list, covering more than a fifth of the total ranking with 109 companies. Thailand, the region's second-largest economy, sits in second place with 100.
Singapore, the region's wealthiest economy by GDP per capita, sits in the middle of the pack, with 81 companies on the Southeast Asia 500.
Measured by revenue, however, the tiny city-state of six million ends up far ahead of its ASEAN peers.
Total revenue from Singapore-based Southeast Asia 500 companies reached $637 billion, or about a third of the list's total revenue of $1.8 trillion. That's twice as much of Thailand, which sits in second place with revenue of $352 billion.
Singapore's 'Big Three' banks—DBS, OCBC, and UOB—are perhaps the city-state's most prominent companies. The three banks are the most profitable companies on the Southeast Asia 500.
Yet they're not actually the largest Singaporean-based companies on the list.
No. 1 on the list is Trafigura Group, a commodities group that deals with metals, minerals, oil, and gas. Trafigura's revenue for 2024 reached $243.2 billion, more than any other company on the list and almost four times more than the next biggest company by revenue in Singapore.
Wilmar and Olam, No. 4 and No. 5, are both in the agribusiness space. These two companies are deeply embedded in the supply chain for consumer goods like butter, nuts, grains, and cooking oils. Revenues for Wilmar and Olam reached $67.4 billion and $42 billion respectively in 2024.
Singapore's central position as a hub makes it a prime location for companies hoping to do business across the region, particularly in neighboring Malaysia and Indonesia.
Singapore's status as a financial center also helps to inflate its revenue share. Trafigura and Flex (No. 10) are both legally domiciled in Singapore, which makes them Singaporean companies according to Fortune's methodology–even though both companies have most of their operations, and even their operational headquarters, in other countries.

Hilton's upbeat Q2 earnings: Why this analyst is still Neutral
Hilton (HLT) posted higher profit and revenue in the second quarter and raised its full-year outlook, but softer net income guidance and weaker occupancy are dragging on investor sentiment. Chad Beynon, Macquarie Group gaming, lodging & theatres analyst, joins Market Catalysts to explain why Hilton's upscale mix is a key factor behind his Neutral rating on the stock. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Catalysts here. Let's continue this travel conversation because Hilton is posting higher profit and revenue in the second quarter. It also raised its earnings outlook for the year. Still, the hotel operator's revenue per available room fell half a percent due to occupancy decline. Joining me now, Chad Beynon, Macquarie Group, Gaming, lodging, and theaters analyst. It's good to see you. So, um, as we are looking at, uh, these numbers, it looks like the company did trim its net income forecast a little bit. Um, although some of its metrics look good, what's your read on the quarter? Yeah, sure. Julie, thanks for having me. Uh, second quarter came in slightly better than expected. I think some of that was timing around termination fees and just kind of how, um, the holidays impacted some leisure versus, uh, business travel. Um, their third quarter guidance came in a little below expectations and where consensus was. So positive on Q2, negative on Q3, and then for the year, they kind of, uh, stood pat in terms of how they were thinking about the year. I would say the tone was slightly more positive, particularly, um, calling for more of a business travel recovery, uh, in the back half of the year. And then as it relates to the leisure traveler, as your last guest talked about, um, I think things are fine. I think consumers continue to prioritize experiences and we saw that, uh, this summer, uh, effects could be a slight positive because, uh, going to Europe or leaving the country is a little bit more expensive this year. Um, so as we've seen, uh, you know, people might stay closer home and vacation, uh, with drive to or shorter haul flights. Well, and I was talking earlier too about what we heard from the airlines, which seemed to be that sort of full service premium customers were holding up better. Are we seeing that play out in the lodging world as well? Absolutely. Uh, when we analyze the chain scale, uh, trends, um, revenue and occupancy in the United States, um, those higher-end full-service brands continue to outperform. I think that's been the case for almost a year now. So it certainly calls the question what's going on with that lower-end economy chain scale focused, uh, uh, brand or portfolio. Uh, so we continue to like those that lean a little bit more upscale, as we know the consumer is kind of fickle here. Um, you know, people are enjoying experiences. But the last two or three years, I think people extended their budgets in every, uh, age bracket. So the, uh, you know, people in that luxurious, uh, level were spending a little bit more. But also people in kind of the lower chain scales were, were spending more. So that's kind of what we're keeping an eye on. And our ratings kind of reflect a view towards some of the higher-end, uh, brands. Well, I was going to ask, I know you got a neutral rating, right? On Hilton? Um, is that why? Because they, you know, just because of their sort of hotel mix and who who their who their audience is? Yeah, I'd say fundamentally, I think net unit growth has probably been better than expected, uh, during the past couple years. The Rev par, uh, which is a key focus for analysts, um, has been roughly in line. I think one of the reasons why lodging stocks outperformed in 23 and 24, uh, compared to, uh, the S&P, it's really the business model, right? The franchisor business model continues, um, to receive praise from investors. And it was about a 10% outperformance for the group in 23 and in 24. So we're looking at these stocks trading, you know, around 30 times earnings, which is where we see high growth stocks, uh, in the market trading. So they're clearly in that category. And that's kind of been why we've maintained our neutral rating. It's certainly above historical trading levels and we are waiting for a little bit of a broader recovery, uh, to become more constructive on Hilton.
