Apple Inc. has returned to the Fortune 100, the first time since 1995 and the return of visionary co-founder and chief executive officer Steve Jobs.
The Cupertino-based company improved 32 positions this year, finishing at No. 71, according to the closely watched Forbes list. Apple’s rise was based on its 32 percent increase in revenue to $32.5 billion and the misfortune of other companies with lower revenue last year. In 1995, Jobs had already left Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and was running NeXT.
