American companies are increasingly dominating international financial markets. The best performing stock in the Dow Jones over the past year was Nvidia, which gained 160%, according to IEX, "outperforming the rest by a long shot.
According to Handelsblatt's ranking, 17 out of the 20 most expensive companies come from the United States.
The first place is occupied by Apple with a market capitalization of 3.7 trillion euros, and the second is Nvidia, a developer of semiconductors for complex computing tasks in the field of artificial intelligence, with a value of 3.2 trillion euros.
Among other interesting data from the study:
American companies now account for 76.7% of the total market capitalization of the 100 largest companies. Last year, this figure was 71%.
It is also estimated that 50.2% of the global stock market value was accounted for by all US companies at the end of the year. For comparison, a year ago this share was 45%.
It also indicates that all 40 DAX companies together are worth only 1.9 trillion euros.
AddendumAddendum
Saudi Aramco is the only non-U.S. company in the top 10, although its market capitalization of 1.8 trillion euros does not compare to other companies. This is because only 2.5% of the state-owned oil company's shares are listed on the stock exchange.
Attention to US stocks has reached an extraordinary level. This opens up great opportunities for investors. But also great risks
