With 2025 revenue of $403.4 billion, Irving-based McKesson far and away leads Dallas-Fort Worth’s group of 24 companies listed on this year’s Fortune 500.

The $403.4 million figure puts McKesson at No. 1 among the 57 Fortune 500 companies in Texas and at No. 8 nationally. DFW’s next-highest-ranked Fortune 500 company, No. 32 AT&T, produced $125.6 billion in revenue last year.

DFW fared better on this year’s list than last year’s, going from 22 companies to 24.

Who owns bragging rights as DFW’s headquarters for Fortune 500 companies? Dallas, with 11 headquarters on the list. Next in line is Irving, which claims eight headquarters.

Altogether, DFW’s two dozen Fortune 500 companies generated nearly $1.1 trillion in revenue last year. That figure roughly equates to Poland’s annual economic output, or gross domestic product (GDP).

In an online article about the 2026 Fortune 500, the Dallas Regional Chamber says DFW’s “influence as a corporate powerhouse” keeps growing.

“For DFW, these rankings reinforce a long-term trend,” the chamber says. “Companies across industries continue to choose the region because of its strategic location, business climate, talent pipeline, ability to support growth, and overall quality of life. As new companies establish headquarters and existing employers expand, DFW’s concentration of major corporations continues to fuel investment, job creation, and economic opportunity throughout the region.”

Here’s the full rundown of this year’s Fortune 500 companies based in Dallas-Fort Worth, including two newcomers — construction engineering company Primoris Services and mattress manufacturer Somnigroup International.

5 — Irving-based McKesson
32 — Dallas-based AT&T (which is moving its headquarters to Plano)
50 — Dallas-based Energy Transfer
63 — Irving-based Caterpillar
85 — Fort Worth-based American Airlines
115 — Dallas-based CBRE
132 — Arlington-based D.R. Horton
157 — Dallas-based Southwest Airlines
164 — Dallas-based HF Sinclair
183 — Westlake-based Charles Schwab
209 — Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare
262 — Frisco-based Keurig Dr Pepper

367 — Plano-based Yum China
419 — Irving-based Celanese
470 — Irving-based Commercial Metals
472 — Dallas-based Primoris Services
499 — Dallas-based Somnigroup International

The state’s other mega-metro, Houston, has more Fortune 500 headquarters than DFW — 27.

Texas leads the nation for Fortune 500 headquarters (57), with California in the No. 2 spot and New York at No. 3.

“Texas is the undisputed headquarters of headquarters,” Gov. Greg Abbott said in a news release. “The world’s leading businesses invest with confidence in Texas because of our welcoming business climate, predictable regulatory environment, and skilled and growing workforce. People and businesses are choosing Texas because Texas works.”

The 2026 Fortune 500 ranks the largest U.S. corporations based on revenue in fiscal year 2025.

New air taxi network to land at major Dallas-Fort Worth airports in 2027

Archer will launch air taxi networks across Texas in 2027.

California-based aerospace company Archer Aviation is bringing its air-taxi system to the “Texas triangle” of Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin in 2027.

The zero-emission electric air taxi networks will use Archer’s Midnight air taxi to “turn 60- to 90-minute drives to major airports, business districts and major destinations into 10- to 20-minute flights,” the company said in a news release. Archer plans to begin flights in the Texas triangle next year.

The Midnight air taxi is an all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. It can carry four passengers and a pilot and is designed for consecutive flights of about 20 miles.

Archer cites the Texas triangle as one of the busiest and fastest-growing “megaregions” in the country, due to its proximity to coastal regions, major airports, and a number of business districts.

“Texas is setting the bar for America’s leadership in the next generation of aviation,” Adam Goldstein, founder and CEO of Archer Aviation, said in the release. “Our planned networks will make the benefits of electric air taxis real for Texans — trading hours in traffic for minutes in the air, while connecting the biggest airports, business districts and sporting hubs in ways that America’s largest megaregion needs to grow.”

Archer Chief Commercial Officer Nikhil Goel described the air taxi experience to CW Houston as “100 times quieter than a helicopter for the price of an Uber Black.” He added that the air taxis are a combination of a helicopter, a small airplane, and a drone.

The Dallas-Fort Worth network is slated to include Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, Dallas Love Field, Addison Airport, Arlington Municipal Airport, Fort Worth Meacham International Airport, and Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport, plus major business hubs like Frisco Station.

In Houston, Archer’s air taxi network will aim to connect George Bush Intercontinental, William P. Hobby, and Sugar Land Regional Airport with downtown destinations and Galveston.

In Austin, it plans to link Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and Austin Executive Airport with the F1 Circuit Helipad at the Circuit of the Americas. Archer debuted its Midnight aircraft at the F1 Prix in the Fan Zone and the F1 Paddock at COTA.

Archer is working with state and local partners to develop charging infrastructure and plans to pursue Texas operations through the White House’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program. It recently completed its "No Roads" flight tour, which included multiple flights over the San Francisco Bay, and flew to seven cities over three days.
