Only ten companies in history exceeded the billion dollars of capitalization. Nvidia and Microsoft exceeded 4 billion and mark the way. What are the next candidates.
The exclusive club of companies that exceed the billion dollars in stock capitalization He has barely ten members in history. Of these, two stand out above the rest: Nvidia and Microsoftunique to having passed the barrier of the 4 billion dollars.
The most striking case is that of Nvidiawhich joined the club in 2023 thanks to the boom of artificial intelligence. Since then, its growth was meteoric: in July of this year it became the First company in history to reach 4 billionafter asserting just over US $ 300,000 million in October 2022. For some analysts, the Californian firm could even climb until the 6 billion dollars In the coming years.
For its part, Microsoft reached 4 billion shortly after, driven by the rise of Azureits cloud services platform, and its strategic alliance with OpenAIthat consolidated it as a reference in artificial intelligence.

Goal and Broadcom, the next ones in line
The rise of Nvidia and Microsoft raises the question of who could follow their steps. According to a report from Bestbrokersthe main candidates are Platforms goal and Broadcom.
-
Goal: The Facebook and Instagram matrix approaches the 2 billion dollars in capitalization and, thanks to its robust advertising business and the bet in AI and Metaverso, could reach the 4 billion at the beginning of 2027. Only in the second quarter of 2025, registered a net profit of US $18,337 million36% more interannual.

Broadcom: After exceeding the billion, the semiconductor company is consolidated as a key actor in the AI infrastructure and data centers. Bestbrokers foresees that it reaches US $4 billion in May 2027despite a certain disappointment in their latest results guides.
Other giants also appear on the radar, although with more widespread deadlines:
-
Amazon (2.4 billion dollars) and TSMC (1.2 billion) could reach the 4 billion in 2028driven by their cloud leadership and chips manufacturing, respectively.
-
AlphabetGoogle and YouTube matrix, I would do it in 2029while Apple Only in 2031.
Apple’s case is paradigmatic: it was the first to overcome the 3 billion in 2023but today drags problems derived from the commercial war of Donald Trump, the fall in income for services, the difficulties in China and a slower income to the AI business in front of competitors such as Microsoft and Meta.
Berkshire Hathaway and the exception of Aramco
Among companies outside the technological sector, Berkshire Hathaway reached billion dollars in August 2024. However, analysts project for the signing of Warren Buffett a more stable and slow growth trajectorywith a horizon of almost nine years to reach 4 billion.
In the case of Saudi Aramcoone of the few non -American members of the Billón Club next to TSMC, the perspective is less favorable: the Bestbrokers report indicates that the Saudi state oil company shows a negative growth trend in the last three yearswhich suggests that its capitalization “probably decreases instead of expanding.”
Billón’s club expands
