List of public corporations by market capitalization
The following is a list of publicly traded companies having the greatest market capitalization, sometimes described as their "market value":[1]
Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the share price on a selected day and the number of outstanding shares on that day. The list is expressed in USD millions, using exchange rates from the selected day to convert other currencies.[2]
Trillion-dollar companies
[edit]The table below lists all companies which have, at any point, had a market capitalization in excess of $1 trillion, the date on which their market cap first exceeded $1 trillion and their record market cap.[3][4]
