The Top 5 Companies on the Nasdaq, NYSE, and RoW

Overview

What we’re showing

The five largest companies by market cap on the Nasdaq, New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and international exchanges (combined). Figures come from Companiesmarketcap.com, and are as of March 12, 2024.

Nasdaq stock exchange

The Nasdaq is largely dominated by the tech industry, with all of its top five companies belonging to the “Magnificent Seven” group of tech stocks.

NYSE

The NYSE’s biggest companies are more diversified, with a combination of tech, financial services, and healthcare names. Among this list, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway is the closest to becoming the next trillion dollar company.

International exchanges

Saudi Aramco is the largest company listed outside of the U.S., with a mammoth $2.1T valuation. It should be noted that the Saudi government directly owns 90% of the company, while another 8% is held by the country’s sovereign wealth fund.

A Bloomberg op-ed from 2023 described Aramco’s valuation as an “illusion”, given that only 2% of shares are available to the public.
