World's Most Admired Companies

Leaders in all industries rely more than ever on Big Tech. And as we’ve learned from the 27th edition of the Fortune World’s Most Admired Companies All-Stars list, those leaders really appreciate the giants that deliver goods and services reliably, at scale, and without drama. For a stunning 18th straight year, Apple finished first in our annual ranking of corporate reputation, based on a poll of 3,380 executives, directors, and analysts; for the sixth year in a row, Amazon and Microsoft rounded out the top three. Nvidia, whose GPU chips are fueling the generative AI explosion, rose six spots to No. 4 as its influence continued to grow. Elsewhere, cloud software provider ServiceNow (No. 42), global chip giant Taiwan Semiconductor (No. 45), and weight-loss drug pioneer Novo Nordisk (No. 46) became first-time All-Stars.

Note: When you scroll down, the “rank” number that appears next to each company does not reflect the company’s overall ranking on the list if its order number exceeds 50. Companies ordered No. 1 through 50 are ranked; a rank of "100000" is shown for the rest of the companies, which make up our “industry rankings" and are alphabetized honorable mentions.
