37. State Farm Insurance Cos.
State Farm boosted profits by a billion dollars last year, even as it continues to recover from the hit it took during the financial crisis, when fewer people could afford auto and homeowners policies. Still, the company has a whopping 81 million policies. And like a good neighbor, State Farm has been doing public awareness work, taking an active stance against texting while driving as part of a campaign tied to its auto insurance division. --S.D. |
