The world's largest companies
Market value is share price multiplied by the number of shares. It isn't what a company earns, owns or produces. It's what the market currently thinks the whole thing is worth. Rank every listed company in the world by that measure and you get a snapshot of where the market's conviction is sitting right now.
This page is that snapshot as of February 2026. The fifteen largest companies, what they're worth and where they're listed. Nvidia on top at $4.77 trillion, twelve of the fifteen American, eight of the top ten in technology or semiconductors. I put it together because a list of names is a far more concrete way of understanding concentration than a percentage buried in a fund fact sheet. It's easier to picture five companies worth about $17.8 trillion between them than it is to picture a weighting.
The other reason is that this list turns over. It has turned over completely before, inside a single working lifetime, and the page says so where the data supports it. Everything is dated, sourced and linked at the end, and the date matters more than usual here, because a ranking compiled a year ago is often already wrong in the first three positions. Read it as a photograph of one moment rather than a league table with any permanence to it.
Nvidia was the world's most valuable listed company at $4.77 trillion in February 2026, ahead of Apple at $4.03 trillion and Alphabet at $3.79 trillion. Twelve of the fifteen largest companies are American, and the three that are not are TSMC, Saudi Aramco and Samsung. The top five alone are worth roughly $17.8 trillion, more than the entire equity market of any country except the United States.
