NYSE Listings with Market Caps Greater Than $100B

The S&P 500 Index is down an incredible 45.52% year-to-date. The Financials within the index are down even more. The fall in stock prices has wiped out trillions of dollars in shareholder value.

Last month the British Economist Fred Harrison, widely known as the 'Prophet of Doom', predicted that "The massive contraction in demand caused by this ‘wealth effect’ will condemn the western economy to a decade-long depression,” and added that US$45 trillion will be wiped out globally.

Considering the current situation in the equity markets world-wide, have you wondered how many companies that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange still have market capitalizations of more than $100B? I ran the stock screener below to find out.

• None of the US financials are on this list as their stocks have fallen dramatically over the past few months.
• HBC of the UK is the only global financial and seems to weathered this credit crisis better than others.
