The Only 14 Companies Now Worth More Than Google

Yesterday, Google eclipsed the $500 per share mark giving them a market cap of just over $156,000,000,000 ($156 Billion - yes billion!). GOOG is worth more than such American institutions as Coca Cola ($110 B), Oracle ($101 B), IBM ($140 B), FedEx ($36 B), Apple ($75 B), General Motors ($18 B) and even the world’s largest computer chip-maker Intel ($124 B).

Is Google the most valuable company on the market today? Close - but there are 14 other heavy-weights that Google still has to knock off:

Google Looking Up 14. Cisco - $163 Billion - The only company in Silicon Valley to stay ahead of Google

13. Berkshire Hathaway - $165 Billion - Want to buy one share in Warren Buffet’s company? Fork over $107,000.00

12. JP Morgan Chase - $165 Billion - Global financial services and Chase banks

11. Altria - $176 Billion - Who? Altria is a holding company that owns Phillip Morris, Kraft and more

10. AIG - $186 Billion - Insurance holding company - you’ve seen the commercials probably

9. Johnson & Johnson - $193 Billion - That’s a lot of q-tips and baby oil

8. Pfizer - $194 Billion - Best known on the Net as makers of Viagra

7. Wal-Mart - $199 Billion - Blue dot stock special

6. Proctor & Gamble - $200 Billion - Branded consumer goods products giant

5. Bank of America - $245 Billion - It’s good to be a bank

4. CitiGroup - $248 Billion - CitiBank’s parent company

3. Microsoft - $294 Billion - A little company behind Windows and Office

2. General Electric - $369 Billion - NBC, lightbulbs, capital and much more

And the most valuable company right now is…

1. ExxonMobil - $428 Billion - As long as you keep filling up, Google will have a hard time knocking them off…

Thanks for this post! It’s surely an interesting list. And here I thought GE was the no 1 company still!

This list conveys the number one reason I do not buy Mobil gas, because they have the market on lock, so if I buy from Shell, I feel like I have a fighting chance to help keep gas prices down.

In addition, I knew Google stock would explode this way, but I wish I bought it when it was $89 a share, as I suggested my friend do. Now she has an e-trade account that started with ten shares worth $890 and now the account is worth $5000 because of my advice.

I am happy for her, but next time I will act on my own good advice!
