10 Va. companies make world’s most admired list

Fortune rankings show top businesses for corporate reputation

Published February 5, 2021 by Sydney Lake

Of 332 companies ranked by Fortune magazine as the “World’s Most Admired Companies,” 10 Virginia companies made the list, according to rankings released Friday.

The list is compiled from the Fortune 500 and Fortune Global 500 lists, which rank companies based on revenue. The World’s Most Admired Companies list ranks companies based on corporate reputation. Executives, directors and analysts were asked to rate companies in their respective industries. (Fortune recognizes 52 different industries.) A company’s score had to rank in the top 50% of its industry to be listed in the rankings. 

The 10 Virginia-based companies, nine of which are located in Fairfax County, include:

  • No. 92: Booz Allen Hamilton Holdings, McLean, information technology services. It ranked No. 4 in its designated industry.
  • No. 98: CACI International, Arlington, information technology services. It ranked No. 8 in its designated industry.
  • No. 99: Capital One Financial, McLean, consumer credit card and related services. It ranked No. 5 in its designated industry.
  • No. 129: Dominion Energy Inc., Richmond, electric and gas utilities. It ranked No. 3 in its designated industry.
  • No. 151: General Dynamics Corp., Falls Church, aerospace and defense. It ranked No. 6 in its designated industry.
  • No. 163: Hilton Worldwide Holdings, McLean, hotels, casinos and resorts. It ranked No. 2 in its designated industry.
  • No. 193: Leidos Holdings, Reston, information technology services. It ranked No. 2 in its designated category.
  • No. 226: Northrop Grumman Corp., Falls Church, aerospace and defense. It ranked No. 2 in its designated industry. 
  • No. 231: NVR, Reston, homebuilders. It ranked No. 5 in its designated industry.
  • No. 264: Science Applications International Corp., Reston, information technology services. It ranked No. 6 in its designated industry.

Unsurprisingly, Apple, Amazon.com Inc. and Microsoft Corp. hold the top three spots on the 2021 list, respectively.
