World’s Most Valuable Companies 2026 | Top 100 by Market Capitalization, Countries, Industries & Key Facts

Worlds Most Valuable Companies

The world’s most valuable company is Apple at about $5.17 trillion, ahead of Nvidia at roughly $4.0 trillion and Microsoft near $3.9 trillion. Nvidia fell from first place after dropping about 31% from its October 6 record close, and 13 US-listed companies are now worth more than $1 trillion.

World’s Most Valuable Companies 2026 – Introduction

The world’s most valuable companies are ranked by market capitalization, which is the share price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding. In 2026, artificial intelligence spending, chip demand and a record SpaceX listing have reshaped the top of the list. Apple now leads, and the top ten companies are worth about $28.6 trillion together.

The ranking moved fast in November. Nvidia lost its lead as the world’s largest company, and Microsoft briefly passed it for second place on November 10. This report covers the global top ten, the Nvidia slide, the next 90 largest US-listed companies, country and sector totals, trillion-dollar companies and weekly movers. Values are snapshots from November 11 and 12, 2026, and rankings change with every trading session.

Apple leads at $5.17 trillion after a record close of $355.63 on November 11. Nvidia holds second place near $4.0 trillion, and Microsoft is third near $3.9 trillion. The top ten together are worth about $28.6 trillion, which is roughly one-fifth of the value Companies Market Cap tracks worldwide.

The table mixes two lists. The first six rows come from a global ranking that includes Saudi Aramco, which is not US-listed. The last rows come from a ranking of US-listed companies, so they exclude Aramco and other non-US listings. The 13 trillion-dollar companies are US-listed only. Counting Aramco, trackers show 14, and Samsung’s value is reported differently by different sources.

Source: Startup Fortune, using Companies Market Cap values and Yahoo Finance prices at about 19:40 UK time on November 12, 2026. Changes are share-price changes from the last trading day of 2025, and Aramco’s is in Saudi riyals.

Apple and TSMC are the year’s big winners, up 30.8% and 33.6%. Amazon is up 16.2%, Aramco 10.8% and Microsoft 8.1%. Nvidia is down 12.5%, Meta 5.9% and Alphabet 5.7%. SpaceX, which priced its record IPO at $135 on June 11, trades near $141.56, about 5% above that price.

These are price changes only and leave out dividends. Alphabet’s price is for its Class C shares. Rankings from different sources can disagree by a place or two because share counts and timing differ, and Tesla sits just outside the top ten at about $1.54 trillion. The values in this table are afternoon figures, so closing values can differ slightly from the ones shown.

Source: Our calculations from StockTitan data through November 11, 2026. The ranking covers US-listed companies only, which overstates the US share of the global total.

The 77 US companies hold 85.9% of the value of the US-listed top 100. The UK has 5 companies, Japan 4 and Canada 3. Taiwan has one company, TSMC, but it is worth $2.14 trillion, or 3.6% of the total. South Korea’s SK hynix is worth $1.00 trillion. The eight other countries each have one company, including Switzerland, Germany, China, Australia, France, Denmark, Spain and Belgium.

The US share is overstated because the ranking leaves out companies that trade only outside the US. Saudi Aramco, at $1.70 trillion, is one example, and several other large Asian and European companies are missing or listed through US depositary receipts. A purely global ranking would show a lower US share. The figures here describe the US-listed top 100, not the world’s top 100.

Technology has 31 of the top 100 companies and 44.3% of the combined value, or $26.07 trillion. Financial services has 18 companies but only 11.6% of the value. Communication services has just 6 companies, including Alphabet and Meta, yet holds 10.3%, which shows how concentrated the largest companies are. Healthcare has 15 companies and 9.1%.

Under other classification systems, some of these companies would fall in technology, and the technology share would be higher. Energy has 5 companies worth $1.73 trillion, led by ExxonMobil and Chevron.

A company can fall and keep its position if everyone around it falls too.

The chip sector split. AMD, Arista, Marvell and Applied Materials rose, while Nvidia fell sharply. Analysts have described investor rotation away from Nvidia after the CEO news, though these moves can reverse. All values are from the November 11 close and do not include November 12 trading, when Nvidia fell another 4.34%.
