The worries about slowing growth among major tech companies have not kept them from dominating the list of public corporations by market capitalization, according to The Online Investor.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) leads the list, despite anxiety about the growth of its iPhone franchise. Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM), the largest energy company in the world, holds the second spot. The balance of the list includes America’s two large conglomerates, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK-A) and General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE). The list also includes a number of consumer electronics public corporations and some of America’s large banks. Few if any tech companies would have made the list half a century ago.
Whether AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) and Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) are tech companies is a matter for debate. Land-line businesses continue to disappear, replaced by cellular and fiber to the home, fundamentally tech distribution operations.
