Indiana comptroller calls for SEC to delist Chinese companies
Comptroller Elise Nieshalla testifies before the Senate Elections Committee on Monday, Jan. 13, 2025. (Leslie Bonilla Muñiz/Indiana Capital Chronicle) Indiana, alongside 20 other states, penned a letter last month urging the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate delisting China-based companies on U.S. stock exchanges 'to protect American investors.' Indiana Comptroller Elise Nieshalla and other state financial officers said there is a growing risk posed by the China-based companies due to Chinese Communist Party interference and widespread failures to meet U.S. transparency, accounting and auditing standards. 'As stewards of invested public funds, we have a responsibility to protect our beneficiaries from foreign entities to seek to exploit our capital markets while evading accountability,' Nieshalla said in a press release. CONTACT US The letter highlights the Chinese Communist Party's crackdown on independent due-diligence firms and points to findings by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board that revealed auditing failures among Chinese companies. It also states that the CCP's systematic use of Variable Interest Entities — an organization that is controlled through contractual agreements rather than direct ownership — prevents U.S. investors from owning the company. The state financial officers also direct the SEC to investigate potential violations of the Securities Exchange Act, including disclosure of controls and procedures, internal financial reporting mechanisms, falsified accounting records and manipulative or deceptive practices. They alleged that the CCP's efforts to suppress transparency exacerbated these issues. 'As state financial officers, part of our responsibility is to ensure that the American people's finances – and our American financial system – are protected from foreign actors who mean to do us harm,' the signatories said in the letter. Indiana has recently purged Chinese companies from state investments. In 2023, legislation was passed that required the Indiana Public Retirement System to divest from any entities that do military or intelligence work or are controlled by the Chinese government. Within a year, INPRS eliminated its $1.2 billion worth of investments in Chinese entities. Delisting-Letter SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX

Welcome to the Fortune 500's 71st annual edition
In today's CEO Daily: Diane Brady on the Fortune 500's new edition. The big story: China accuses U.S. of 'violating' trade truce. The markets: Worried about China-U.S. trade tensions. Analyst notes from UBS, Deutsche Bank, and Goldman Sachs. Plus: All the news and watercooler chat from Fortune. Good morning. We just published the 71st annual edition of the Fortune 500, our definitive list of America's largest companies. The minimum cutoff to make the list this year is $7.4 billion in revenue, up 4% from 2024. Walmart earned the top spot for the 13th straight year, with more than $648 billion in revenues. But Alphabet was America's most profitable company, with more than $100 billion in profits, and Apple was No. 1 by market cap. In total, Fortune 500 companies represent two-thirds of U.S. GDP with $19.9 trillion in revenues, $1.9 trillion in profits, $46 trillion in market cap, and some 31 million employees worldwide. What's fascinating about this list is its evolution, as new players displace old ones in an ever-shifting business landscape. Despite geopolitical turmoil, tech disruptions, economic uncertainty, and more, there are only 22 new names on this year's list, which is the second-lowest turnover in the past three decades. Newcomers include Oscar Health, Palo Alto Networks, and spinoffs like energy giant GE Vernova and Kenvue, formerly the consumer health care division of Johnson & Johnson. Among those who dropped off: Liberty Media and timber company Weyerhaeuser. 2025 may turn out to be the calm before the storm, as AI is already making an impact. Nvidia more than doubled its revenue last year, as did server company Super Micro Computer. Chipmakers Broadcom and Micron Technology also reaped AI-driven gains. Vistra, which provides power for AI data centers, saw its stock more than triple in 2024. But the biggest gainers on that front were Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which set investors' hopes soaring with reports that they might exit government receivership. Finally, while the number of billion-dollar startups may have waned—remember this cover story?—a growing number of Fortune 500 companies are now eyeing trillion-dollar valuations. Berkshire Hathaway became the first non-tech company to join a club that counts Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta as members.

Last year, they combined to earn $1.87 trillion in profits, up 10% from last year—and a record in dollar terms.
