Last month Apple (AAPL) overtook Microsoft (MSFT) in market capitalization. Since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill BP’s (BP) market cap has decreased dramatically. So I wanted to see which US-listed foreign companies had the largest market capitalization.
The following foreign companies have market cap of over $100B as of market close today:
1. PetroChina Company Limited (PTR)
Current Dividend Yield: N/A
2. China Mobile Ltd. (CHL)
Current Dividend Yield: 3.78%
3. BHP Billiton Limited (BHP)
Current Dividend Yield: 2.55%
4. HSBC Holdings plc (HBC)
Current Dividend Yield: 3.38%
5. Royal Dutch Shell plc (RDS.A)
Current Dividend Yield: 6.41%
6. Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PBR)
Current Dividend Yield: 0.40%
7. BHP Billiton plc (BBL)
Current Dividend Yield: 3.02%
8. Vale (VALE)
Current Dividend Yield: 1.78%
9. China Life Insurance Company Ltd. (LFC)
Current Dividend Yield:0.76%
10. Toyota Motor Corporation (TM)
Current Dividend Yield: 1.52%
11. Novartis AG (NVS)
Current Dividend Yield:
12. Vodafone Group Plc (VOD)
Current Dividend Yield: 4.04%
13. TOTAL SA (TOT)
Current Dividend Yield: 6.46%
The most valued company is Exxon Mobil (XOM) of the US at about $294 billion, followed by Apple with $236B. BP’s market cap is slightly lower than $100B at about $98B. Royal Dutch Shell plc and TOTAL SA have high yields over 6% now, due to a fall in stock prices.
