Adm vs Bunge

ADM is bigger than Bunge by both revenue and profit for the year ended December 31, 2025: ADM reported $80.269 billion of revenue and $1.078 billion of net income, versus Bunge's $70.329 billion of revenue and $816 million of net income. ADM also has more employees (about 41,496 versus roughly 34,000) and a larger stock market value (about $39.18 billion on September 1, 2026, versus about $21.17 billion on September 24, 2026). Bunge closed most of the revenue gap in 2025 by merging with grain handler Viterra, but ADM remains larger and more profitable on every one of these measures.

Campbell Soup vs Conagra Brands

Conagra Brands is the bigger company by sales: $11.28 billion in fiscal 2026 (ended May 31, 2026) versus Campbell's $9.744 billion in fiscal 2026 (ended August 2, 2026). On profit, Campbell's actually came out ahead on a GAAP basis, with $403 million of net earnings against a $1.92 billion net loss at Conagra, though that Conagra loss was driven by non-cash goodwill and brand impairments rather than operating cash flow. Both companies cut dividends in 2026 to pay down debt: Campbell's by 36% in September and Conagra by 50% in July.

Chipotle Mexican Grill vs Mcdonalds

McDonald's is both bigger and more profitable than Chipotle: it reported $26.885 billion of revenue and $8.563 billion of net income for fiscal year 2025 (ended December 31, 2025), compared with Chipotle's $11.926 billion of revenue and $1.536 billion of net income for the same period. That gives McDonald's a 31.9% net margin versus Chipotle's 12.9%. By market value, McDonald's was worth about $175.66 billion on September 18, 2026, versus Chipotle's $41.94 billion on September 21, 2026, a gap of roughly 4.2 times.

Conagra Brands vs General Mills

General Mills is the bigger company by revenue, reporting $18.42 billion in net sales for fiscal 2026 (ended May 31, 2026) against Conagra Brands' $11.28 billion for the same fiscal year. Both posted a GAAP net loss in fiscal 2026 because of non-cash impairments: General Mills lost $87.6 million, while Conagra's loss was far larger at about $1.92 billion, equal to $4.00 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis Conagra remained profitable, with $1.72 of adjusted EPS, and General Mills' roughly $17.9 billion market capitalization in late September 2026 was nearly triple Conagra's roughly $6.4 billion.

Danone vs General Mills

Danone is bigger by revenue and is currently more profitable than General Mills. Danone reported ~$30.8 billion (EUR27.283 billion) in sales and ~$2.06 billion (EUR1.825 billion) in net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, equal to roughly $31 billion in revenue at September 2026 exchange rates (EUR/USD about 1.135). General Mills reported $18.42 billion in net sales for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, but posted a GAAP net loss of $87.6 million because of a $1.5 billion goodwill impairment on its North America Pet segment. By market value, Danone was worth about $43.5 billion versus General Mills' roughly $17.9 billion as of late September 2026.

Danone vs Nestle

Nestlé is far bigger: it reported ~$108 billion (CHF 89.9 billion) in sales for fiscal year 2025, more than three times Danone's ~$30.8 billion (EUR 27.3 billion) for the same year. Nestlé also earned more in absolute profit, ~$10.8 billion (CHF 9.0 billion) in net profit versus Danone's ~$2.06 billion (EUR 1.825 billion) net income - Group share, though Danone's 2025 like-for-like sales growth of 4.5% outpaced Nestlé's 3.5% organic growth. Both companies recalled infant formula in January 2026 over cereulide contamination, but analysts estimate that category is about 21% of Danone's revenue against roughly 5% of Nestlé's, making the recall a bigger risk for Danone.

Editorial Methodology

Company Research

We use company filings, annual reports, company statements and press reports, with primary sources preferred where available. Each financial row shows its recorded source. Full-year figures are separated from annualized run-rates, partial periods and forecasts; unaudited figures carry a label. Source detail varies by company, so check the linked material when the reporting basis matters.

1. Primary Sources

Public companies may provide filings and annual reports. Private-company figures may come from statements or press coverage. A missing figure stays missing, and a source link should identify where its number came from.

2. Expert Curation

We organize company records and review claims for strategic context, source quality and clarity. Pages show a review date where one is recorded.

3. Multi-Pass Audit

Technical checks flag inconsistent figures and missing links. Editorial review of the underlying source remains necessary for claims those checks cannot verify.
