Sure, but that is revenue, not valuation, which can be lower (or higher).
For example, Walmart has 560B+ revenue per year and a market cap of 380B.

Cargill would have an amazingly high valuation just due to all the assets owned.

You may very well be right! I didn't mean to come off saying you are wrong, just that Revenue isn't a proxy. IKEA on the other hand I very highly doubt has a higher market cap. Retail typically has high Revenue and low margin, like Walmart
