WASHINGTON — Fortune Magazine’s 2018 list of the 500 largest U.S. companies by revenue includes 15 that are based in the D.C. region, unchanged from last year, and Fairfax County dominates the local list.
New to this year’s list is Tysons-based DXC Technology, with 2017 revenue of $7.6 billion. DXC was formed in April 2017 by the merger of Computer Sciences Corp and the enterprise services business of Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
CSC fell off this year’s list as a result.
Nine Fairfax County-based companies are on the Fortune 500 list, with 10 total in Northern Virginia, three in Maryland and two in the District.
Fairfax County has more companies on the list than 30 individual states.
