The investment community uses this figure to determine a company's size instead of sales or total asset figures. In an acquisition, the market cap is used to determine whether a takeover candidate represents a good value or not to the acquirer.

Really Interesting! American dominance is crazy

[@oliverorchard6774]

It is quite poetic that Microsoft starts and ends at the top lol.

[@stevens1041]

As an IT guy during the period, Microsoft really turned it around in large part due to cloud and related services. It generates a lot of money for them now.

[@cristhiansaavedra5342]

​@@stevens1041 es increíble como Microsoft se pudo despegar de su producto estrella "Windows" ahora otras de sus ramas les genera mas beneficios, cosa que otras empresas no pueden todavia despegarse de su producto principal

[@scottkrafft6830]

That's because they managed to catch lightning in a bottle twice. The first time, was the releases of Windows 95/98 in the 1990s. They COMPLETELY washed out the ENTIRE competition. In 1994, there were about half a dozen major operating systems (and countless lesser known ones) vying for control. By 1998 90%< of PCs worldwide were running some form of Windows. They could have slipped off in the mid-2000s, when the company stagnated. The 2001 Xbox, while very innovative, sold poorly, as did Windows Vista. The success of the Xbox 360 and Windows 7 allowed them to gain new capital to invest into things like cloud storage and (eventually) AI. They were lucky enough that another company didn't swoop in and fulfill that demand.

[@Revenuzhiie]

DAMMMMMMN NVIDIA is top tier on 2024 xzdxdxd

[@frank-ko6de]

The 30's are going to be dominated by Microsoft and Nvidia, Intel, Amd. Mark my words. Everything from 6G,IOT, AI,machinery, home appliances, etc, is going to be controlled by them.

[@tylerclayton6081]

Because they’re way ahead of anyone else in making AI chips. AMD is their only real competition and AMD is not close

[@LikeEtAbonne-toi]

Windows XP SAVE Money of Microsoft wow 1:12

[@jameskulisiewicz4329]

NVIDIA's curve was straight vertical

[@reececrook7021]

my english soul died watching all our companies fall from the list

[@yvonnehaley8]

WWW. The invention that changed everything. The biggest will always dominate, doesn't mean it's the best though.

[@konn81]

think you missed novo nordisk

[@dianabialaskahansen2972]

Surprised at no Samsung. I feel they have so much electronics and is Apple's major rival when it comes to smartphones.

[@Aadsas5ggg6iuj]

Well samsung is at "just" 400 Billion USD, so theyre very close to being on the list

[@stevens1041]

There is something called "Korea discount". Plus Samsung got it double with the complex conglomerate discount. Check these things out. I agree Samsung is very successful. All over Asia, they have the Samsung stores, which are fun. I currently have S23 for personal and ip13 for my work, I have to say, S23 is my favorite by far.

[@zexiao]

Samsung disappeared from China market due to its low qualily

[@willyrex2k848]

Where is Novo Nordisk?

[@kkrsnn5632]

Overvalued🙉

[@BOOMER751]

Wait the market cap of Microsoft or Apple is higher than the GDP of a large size economy like the UK or France? How does it relate to the real world? Financial markets have gone insane

[@DanM-pw9nl]

Well GDP is only what's produced in one year but yeah they're probably overvalued

[@Burveli]

0:45 everything else is some great countries like US, Japan or Germany, except Nokia

[@Atheist100]
