Some other Ohio observations:

-Huntington fell out of the Fortune 500 after ending last year right on 500.

-In a battle of the insurance companies, Progressive overtook Nationwide (Nationwide's #s look to be way down...odd).

-Express is out of the Fortune 1000.

-Scotts jumped 146 spots to 607, the largest # jump among Ohio companies.

Looks like it was a bad year for insurance companies overall. Lots of losses. Probably a lack of new policies written. People not having enough money to keep current policies active too. COVID payouts... were there enough of those to significantly affect the business?

Since there was barely any driving, companies that are heavier in automobile insurance had a great year (Progressive is >75% Auto vs Home).  Since Nationwide is heavier in Homeowners insurance, they likely got hit with another bad wildfire season.  Also, insurance companies in general are going to fluctuate with bond prices, since that's what most of them invest their insurance premiums into, and rates went back down with COVID and the attempt to slow the adverse economic impact.

Pretty interesting how it changes between Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000. Cincinnati only picks up 3 companies, while Columbus and Cleveland pick up 11 and 9 respectively.

 

Also, I figured more companies between 501-1000 would be in smaller communities not originally respresented.

So Cleveland Cliffs is at 501 despite acquiring AK Steel which was at 467 previously.  That seems odd.  Although the acquisition wasn't completed until March of 2020, so maybe that is a factor.

Cincinnati has been struggling of late with emerging public companies. They are above their weight on the 500 but have struggled for years beyond that.

Columbus is evident based on the growth you have seen in that market. The interesting thing is that much of Columbus's businesses seem homegrown and you really do not see them poaching companies from other markets (outside of a takeover). 

Cleveland has had the most dramatic turnaround IMO. I remember yeas ago they were losing all their F500 companies (I believe around 10 years ago they were down to around 3 or 4 and they seem to be really bringing things back up in their market. 

Toledo is also the biggest surprise for me. If you throw in Findlay as part of that market, they have 9 for NW Ohio. That is pretty impressive 

The other (not surprise) but thing that stands out is how Dayton has been decimated businesswise. They do not have any F1000 companies for a city of around 1 million.

Cleveland was a Fortune 500 mecca.  I believe it ranked 3rd behind New York City and Chicago until the mid-70s when the floodgates opened.  Thank you, Mayor Kucinich.

They had over 4 billion revenue in the first quarter of 2021. When all the dust settles they will be at least in the top 300.

When I was living up there, they had just lost TRW and one other company, plus their big steel company (i forget the name now) was in bankruptcy and being sold.  They had Eaton, Scott Fetzer i believe (which was going to be short lived Encylepedias on their way out) Key and Nat City. Also, Rubbermaid had just merged and moved from Wooster and JM Smucker was not what they are today either. 

 

All in all, it has been a nice rebound for Cleveland.

 

Within a few years in the late 70s/early 80s, Cleveland lost Diamond Shamrock, Harris Corp, AM International (Addressograph Multigraph), Figgie International and probably a couple others I am forgetting.

Was there a lot of business between the two companies prior to the merger? One provided the raw materials, the other processed them into products. Maybe a lot of revenue was wiped out because of that. There were also lots of shut-downs at automotive plants, which would have eaten into demand for AK Steel's products.

Partially it's the typical merger issues, but keep in mind that some of the F1000 mainstays for Cincinnati are now F500.  For years, Cincinnati Financial, Cintas, and Western-Southern were not in the top 500, or were knocking on the door.  Now they are all well inside that mark.  

 

It would be really interesting if someone tracked how many of the companies between 500 and 1000 make it into the Fortune 500 vs. getting purchased before they do.  

Another thing to factor into this conversation is how much covid impacted the rankings for some companies. Like Travelers Center in Westlake (Cleveland) dropped out of the Fortune 500 to 540 due to a decrease in revenue of 20.8%. You’d have to imagine they will be back in the 500 next year. There are I’m sure dozens if not over a hundred companies whose rankings were drastically impacted by COVID and every company had their ranking somewhat impacted for better or worse due to the pandemic.

Yeah I'm definitely taking this year's list with a grain of salt. Not that's it's inaccurate; rather an outlier.

"Thirty-six years after leaving Northeast Ohio, the Kroger Co. is positioning itself to re-enter the market — with a much different product. The Cincinnati-based grocer is eying a deal in Oakwood, near the southeastern edge of Cuyahoga County.

Lordy let’s not make this a competition. 
 

And if we are, let’s say congrats to Ohio for its Number 5 ranking. Would most Americans guess that Ohio is higher on the F500 list than PA, FL, even MI? I’m guessing not. That is a contest that I wish those in Columbus would do a better job of highlighting.

Given the state of the workplace nowadays, Cintas will almost certainly drop out of the top 500 next year and the next closest companies in Cincy are in the 900's, so we will be at 6 next year.

If Eaton wasn’t pretending to be an Irish company for the tax-haven status, their $19.6B 2021 revenue would have them right in the neighborhood of Sherwin Williams on that list as a Cleveland-area Fortune 200 company.

I have to disagree about this. As someone who has recently researched the fundamentals/revenue of Cintas for investment purposes I didn’t see anything that would suggest a drop in revenue dramatic enough for them to fall out of the Fortune 500 next year. Most recent projections have revenue-growth projected up not down, unless something has happened in the past couple months since I took a look.

KeyCorp is probably a goner, too. A couple of years ago they decided "growth" was not a primary goal and went for providing a broader range of services. I'm not sure they're seeing much payoff from that tack yet.

As someone who has recently researched the fundamentals/revenue of Cintas for investment purposes I didn’t see anything that would suggest a drop in revenue dramatic enough for them to fall out of the Fortune 500 next year. Most recent projections have revenue-growth projected up not down, unless something has happened in the past couple months since I took a look.

In this case you would know more than me, but I was speaking more so on the basis that another year of < 1% growth probably means they get pushed off by other high growth companies.  Almost every company from 470-550 is growing at a double-digit rate.

 

Doing some napkin math, it'll be close, but if the growth rates from this past year hold, they'll be 480-500ish

It surprises me that a place like Dayton would not have even 1 fortune 1000 company.

Dayton lost NCR to Atlanta in the 90s. I believe they lost another big one, but I don't remember who it was.

I believe Mead was a Fortune 500 company when they left the Dayton area about 20 years ago?

NCR did not leave Dayton until 2009. Losing NCR was part of the narrative for electing John Kasich  and launching JobsOhio.

^Another way to peg Strickland as The 2008 Guy (which includes 2007 and 2009+).

I think you should count Wooster as part of the Cleveland market too.

 

Also, I am impressed by the Toledo area. Defintietely punching above its weight. Tied with Columbus if you throw Marathon into that mix.

Toledo used to have seven F500 companies headquartered in the city. OI moved from downtown to Perrysburg, and Dana and the Andersons are in Maumee. Only Owens-Corning is still in the city now. 

Gee I wonder if so many of our F1000 companies happen to be auto suppliers is why we barely have trains.

And I think the Andersons moved to Monclova Township.  :-(

Dayton has lost...a lot.  NCR, Delphi, and Mead (which is now WestRock) were the big ones but others as well.  The federal government is now the largest employer in the Dayton area.

Someone posed a question a while back about the F500s that left Cleveland in the 80s. The question was are any of those companies that left still F500s. 

 

Are any of those that left Dayton still on the list?

Yes.  WestRock and NCR are still on that list...in Georgia.  Delphi was bought out by a foreign company.

If ~$2.1 bn in annual revenue is the cutoff for the Fortune 1000 next year, I'll be interested to see if my current (hopefully soon-to-be former) employer makes the list.  Columbus-based.  I'll circle back to this post next year.  We are already at $2.1bn TTM revs and probably on pace to end FY22 over $2.5bn if I had to guess.

If Eaton wasn’t pretending to be an Irish company for the tax-haven status, their $19.6B 2021 revenue would have them right in the neighborhood of Sherwin Williams on that list as a Cleveland-area Fortune 200 company. 

Same with Steris of Dublin/Mentor.  They are slightly smaller than Lincoln Electric, putting them around 800 on the F1000 list.
