São Paulo - The list of companies with the highest market value in the US has undergone changes this week. After reporting results nothing encouraging for the second quarter, the oil producer Exxon Mobil has been overtaken by Amazon and Facebook. Berkshire Hathaway, the mega investor Warren Buffet also left the top positions days before.
Thus, the five highest ranking placements have become a unique land of technology companies, as reported by Fortune.
Part of the excitement of investors came of good news recently released by the companies in the sector. Facebook, for example, said on Wednesday that its profits rose 186% in the second quarter of this year. Since the beginning of 2016, the company has won nearly 92 billion dollars in market value.
Amazon, which had an increase of 113.2 billion dollars in market value this year, also surprised analysts. From April to June, its profits rose more than ninefold in the same period last year.
Despite all the excitement, these two companies have a huge challenge ahead. As Fortune points out, they can even be seen by shareholders as the most valuable, but still need time to reach a volume of revenues as a mature company like Exxon, which only in 2015 had revenues of 210.8 billion dollars.
For comparison, the figure is more than double the Amazon sales and 13 times larger than Facebook.
