The Exclusive Club of Trillionaire Companies: Here are the 11 listed stocks above a trillion dollars!

Nvidia had been in the club of Trillionaire Companies since May 2023 when it crossed US$1 trillion but is now over US$5 trillion. It crossed this mark just 3 months after surpassing US$4 trillion, a mark only Microsoft and Apple have surpassed.

We thought it was an opportune time to list the 11 stocks currently above US$1 trillion. We are excluding stocks that may have been but aren’t anymore, otherwise it’d be a longer list although it’d be headed by PetroChina that was over US$1tn way back in 2007 but shed much of that value once the GFC hit. We are also excluding companies that would be US$1tn if shares in escrow or otherwise restricted were counted.

With all that out of the way, here is the list…

Trillionaire Companies: Here are the 12 listed stocks above a trillion dollars!

Nvidia (NDQ:NVDA)

Nvidia tops the list, being worth over US$5 trillion. It has gotten rich off the back of GPUs which are computer chips designed to handle and accelerate graphics workloads and display graphics content – to the extent previous generation technologies could not.

These days, GPUs are behind modern AI, because they act as the ‘brain’ of computers, robots and self-driving cars. In other words, GPUs help them operate by ensuring they can comprehend real-world inputs. Nvidia has made over $100bn in 2 quarters of this year.

Microsoft (NDQ:MSFT)

Microsoft takes the silver spot amongst companies over a trillion – as it is the world’s second largest company. We all know it is a software company and that it has cleaned up its reputation and transitioned to the cloud under the tenure of Satya Nadella.

But you may not know that the company’s mission statement is to ’empower every person and every organisation on the planet to achieve more’. And it is spending over US$40bn per annum in AI capex. The bet is that Azure, Copilot, and its enterprise stack will remain the backbone of the AI economy. But with Google, Amazon, and OpenAI racing ahead, and regulators sharpening their knives, nothing is guaranteed, not even for a $3 trillion titan.

Apple (NDQ:AAPL)

Apple takes bronze spot and is the last of the 3 companies above US$4 trillion. It is another company that needs no introduction. But what many many not realise is that it is now over 10x what it was when Steve Jobs passed away. The ‘One More Thing’ days are gone, but it has released a few products including the Apple Watch which is actually a bigger business than the iPod was at its height. Then there are AirPods and the Apple Pencil.

You could argue Apple is under threat with the rise of AI, although it is now working to make its own semiconductor chips rather than use Intel.

Alphabet (NDQ:GOOGL)

Billions of times a day (over 8 billion to be exact), people turn their glances to their phones and put in whatever they are searching for, knowing they’ll get answers without a whiff of judgement on who they are, where they are and what they’re asking. How does it make money? Through putting in place ads…but in noting clearly what is paid for and what is organic, it has a level of trust unrivalled by anyone or anything else. Except maybe ChatGPT, but that’s for another article…

Amazon (NDQ:AMZN)

There’s little not to like about the company that was termed ‘the Everything Store’. The dominant market position in existing markets, the ability (the employee brains and capital) to go after new market opportunities and the loyalty of its customers. But just as big these days is its Cloud and AI businesses – now accounting for over $100bn on annualised revenue and over two-thirds of operating income.

Under Jeff Bezos’ replacement Andy Jassy, there is a big focus on AI. One of the key things Amazon is doing is building its own chips – the Trainium2 chips, that don’t just offer better performance but price-effective performance. Jassy also said that there were over 1,000 GenAI applications being built.

Saudi Aramco (TADAWUL:2222)

This is an odd one out, being listed in Saudi Arabia. Aramco is the national oil company, operating across the full hydrocarbon chain: exploration, production, refining, chemicals, and global marketing. It made headlines in 2019 for how big of an IPO it was and it is big even though the government retains the majority of ownership. It made a US$106bn profit in 2024.

Meta (NDQ:META)

Meta is the company behind Facebook, as well as WhatsApp and Instagram. Of all the companies on this list, it could be accused of not having much plans for the future…at least anything realistic given the flops with VR and the metaverse. But Mark Zuckerberg thinks his company can be at the forefront of the AI revolution, spending tens of billions of dollars a year.

Broadcom (NDQ:AVGO)

Broadcom is a large American technology company that designs, develops and supplies both semiconductor devices and infrastructure software solutions.

Investors have been buying into it because they see this company as one of the best ways to gain exposure to AI – and they are right because its AI-related revenue has been growing exponentially. Broadcom’s management has estimated the addressable market for its AI infrastructure business could be US$60 billion-90 billion annually by 2027

What differentates Broadcom is because not only is it hardware, but it has a strong software infrastructure business (via VMware) that brings recurring revenue and higher margins.

Tesla (NDQ:TSLA)

Despite the backlash over Elon Musk’s involvement with the Trump campaign and the early months of his second term, not to mention competition with the rise of BYD…Tesla stock is still over a trillion and its vehicles are still selling. Moreover, Elon Musk returned to the company and perhaps this has calmed investors, thinking things would improve if he was more around. Still, things are essentially the same – there is still stiff competition and margin pressure.

TSMC (TPE:2330)

TSMC is listed in Taiwan and is a major force in the world’s electronics supply chain. It is not just an IP company or single product company, it is a foundry that makes chips for other companies that do not own heir own fabs. TSMC produces over 50% of the world’s contract chips and over 90% of the world’s most advanced chips. Its key customers include Apple and Nvidia. It is worth 5 Commonwealth Banks, 7 Adobe’s and 4 Salesforces.

Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.B)

Berkshire Hathaway is the company that made Warren Buffett one of the richest men on earth, and even long after him, the company will be associated with him. The empire has gotten rich by owning companies as they have grown into the biggest and best in the world. 2025 has been a pivotal year with one of Buffett’s closest confidants, Greg Abel, taking over. And while there will be some changes, it’ll take something spectacularly bad for the company to lose its status in the Trillionaires Club.
