We ranked famous American companies by market capitalization.
Let’s start with the top 10.
1st place is Apple.
2nd place is Microsoft.
Third place goes to Google (Alphabet).
I will explain them in order.

Apple
1st place is Apple.
The market capitalization is also so large that it’s hard to understand, but the number one, Apple, is about 200 trillion yen.
A long time ago, Windows shrank Apple PCs.
I thought that smartphones would have similar results, but they are supported by passionate fans. Furthermore, we are diversifying our businesses, including Apple TV and credit cards.
Microsoft
In second place is Microsoft.
In addition to office software, Microsoft is experiencing significant growth with its AZURE cloud business. Business social networking sites such as Linkedin are also growing.
Microsoft is also focusing on the game business, and is also diversifying its business.
Recently, AI ChatGPT is trying to revolutionize business around the world.
The alphabet in 3rd and 4th place is Google.
(The stock is divided into two parts, so they are ranked like this.)
We believe that we are a company that can permanently provide search services that everyone needs. Cloud business is also growing little by little.
Google Cloud finally achieved profitability in 2023.
Youtube is also overwhelming. Everyone is intently watching.
In addition, videos will also be distributed for a fee, which is expected to further increase income.
Amazon
In fifth place is Amazon.
There are great expectations for growth in the cloud business AWS and advertising business on e-commerce sites.
In addition, there is no sign of growth slowing down, with initiatives such as prescription delivery pill packs and the acquisition of iRobot, a robot vacuum cleaner.

JP Morgan Chase
JPMorgan Chase, ranked 14th, is a bank.
Although it is the largest bank in the United States by market capitalization, it is a multinational company with operations in more than 60 countries around the world.
We boast an overwhelmingly high profit margin compared to other industries.
Bank of America is also a bank.
Master Card
Mastercard, ranked 18th, offers credit card services around the world.
Mastercard and Visa are active all over the world and have amazing profit margins of over 45%.
Recently, mastercard has started our service in China.
As a result, sales and profits are expected to increase further.
Meanwhile, Apple is also expanding into the credit card business, so keep an eye on future competition.
Coca-Cola
Not to mention Coca-Cola, which ranks 24th.
In addition to Coca-Cola, we have a variety of other brands including coffee and sports drinks.
It recently used the profits to buy British coffee chain Costa.
Furthermore, Coca-Cola is still growing, as they have begun to enter alcoholic beverages made by mixing whiskey with Coca-Cola.
Disney
Disney has launched Disney+ and is venturing into the streaming business.
It has excellent content from Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, etc.
We also completed the acquisition of FOX and expanded our content.
This is completely unrelated, but this time, Alita Battle Enjar, which will be released by FOX, is based on Gunm, a Japanese manga from about 25 years ago.
Good content will remain without being weeded out.
AT＆T
AT&T’s core business is the Internet communications business, but growth is an issue because it is a domestic-only business.
As a result, stock prices are also declining.
In the Internet business, Starlink using artificial satellites and Amazon have entered the market, and competition will continue to intensify.
In the Internet communications business, it is likely that companies will be forced to take some kind of response, such as expanding content, in response to these entry into the Internet business.
Summary
We have talked about the ranking of famous companies in America.
However, it is dangerous to judge a company’s actual value solely by its market capitalization.
We believe that companies that permanently provide services and products that we often use are important.
