  • Tesla ($1.385T) remains the most valuable automobile company, far ahead of traditional car manufacturers.
  • The highest-ranked non-tech company, Saudi Aramco, stands at $1.805 trillion.
  • Other trillion-dollar companies span industries such as finance (Berkshire Hathaway – $0.984T) and media (Meta – $1.514T).
