The most valuable companies in the world have grown to impressive heights in recent years, with six publicly traded companies reaching market capitalizations of $1 trillion or more. All six companies come from the tech sector, with many offering products and services that consumers use every day. Several of them also made it onto Bankrate’s list of top performing stocks.

Nvidia recently took over the top spot as the world’s most valuable company, passing Microsoft and Apple, behind a business boom driven by demand for artificial intelligence (AI). Nvidia first joined the $1 trillion club in May 2023 and since then has added more than $2 trillion in additional market value.

Here are the largest publicly traded companies and members of the trillion-dollar club.

What is market capitalization and what does it mean?

A company’s market capitalization is equal to the total value of its outstanding shares. Market cap can be calculated by multiplying a company’s stock price by its shares outstanding. For example, a $10 stock with 1 billion shares outstanding would have a market cap of $10 billion.

Market cap is used to measure what a company is worth at a given time.
