Chart of the Day: Winners Don't Win Forever

grid shows 1st in light blue, 2nd in black, and 3rd in dark blue

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.
