Chart of the Day: Winners Don't Win Forever

Today’s Chart of the Day is from Counterpoint Global with data from FactSet. It shows the top three largest US companies from 1950 to 2023. AT&T dominates the list until the early 1980’s but is now 45th. Exxon dominated from 1974 to 2014, but still holds on today at 11th. Microsoft began its run in 1997 and Apple in 2010. This highlights that “winners” don’t hold on forever, and the prudence to trim oversized positions to keep a portfolio balanced.

Owning a business is a significant achievement but with it comes the responsibility of planning for its future. Whether you intend to keep the business within your family, sell it, or ensure its smooth operation after you pass away, adequate planning is crucial. Careful estate planning can protect your business from unexpected tax liabilities and ensure its continuity according to your wishes.
