This ranking highlights the financial scale of the companies powering the backbone of artificial intelligence — from GPUs and chips to cloud platforms and enterprise AI. NVIDIA ($4.45T) leads by a wide margin, cementing its role as the compute engine of the AI era. Microsoft ($3.8T), Apple ($3.6T), and Alphabet ($2.9T) follow as hyperscale cloud and platform leaders, while Amazon ($2.3T) and Meta ($1.8T) continue to expand their AI infrastructure footprints.

Beyond the U.S. giants, Tencent ($757B), Alibaba ($355B), Samsung ($430B), and Cambricon ($73B) showcase Asia’s growing role in AI infrastructure. Palantir ($416B) stands out as a specialized AI platform player, while AMD ($349B), Intel ($173B), and Qualcomm ($165B) remain critical in the chip race.

None of these except maybe for Palantir are purely AI companies though. They were all successful businesses with established products and services long before generative AI came along. Quite unlike what caused the dotcom crash.

Palantir was still a horror show before AI came along

Can't wait to buy a liquidated 5090 at 25%.

I don't think it'll crash like that tbh. You'll still find a cheap GPU, but bc it's old not bc of a market run

I dunno. Microsoft, Apple, and Google have other products besides AI. They also have tons of cash. I don’t think it’s going to impact them as much.

Nvidia, Oracle, and OpenAI are the ones who will take the brunt. A lot of their value is investment between each other.

AMD will probably take a hit as well, since OpenAI is a huge customer.

Look for the other post that’s going around with the circle/arrows infographic.
