Corporate Headquarters
Twenty–six Fortune 500 companies are headquartered in the Houston region. Houston ranks third among U.S. metro areas for most Fortune 500 headquarters.
- Twenty-six companies on the 2025 Fortune 500 list are headquartered in the Houston metro area, ranking Houston third in the country behind New York (62) and Chicago (30) and ahead of Dallas-Fort Worth (21).
- The biggest movers on the Fortune 500 from ’24 to ’25 are APA (moved to #422 from #455), KBR (moved to #480 from #507), and Group 1 Automotive (moved to #214 from #229).
- New to the Fortune 500 List is Corebridge Financial (224), which was not on the 2024 Fortune 500 list because it was still part of AIG and only became a fully independent company in mid-2024.
