World's Largest Companies 2015

With a value of more than 650 billion euros and with customers in almost any corner of the planet, Apple, is placed again in the first position, with a value that practically doubles the value of the second company on the list; its competitor Microsoft. The podium is completed by the famous search engine, Google.

Another year the American economy shows its dominance of the world economic panorama. In addition to placing 7 of the top 10 companies on the list, 54 of the 100 companies in the ranking have American nationality. And, as if that were not enough, in recent months they have been favored by the strength of the dollar.

If you look at the sectors that make up the list, tech companies, banks and oil companies, as well as fashion / pharmaceutical companies dominate. You can buy shares of any of these companies through the following link:

The first Spanish company in the ranking of world companies is once again Banco Santander, which is ranked 72nd, down three places since last year. The next national company is Inditex, climbing 7 positions to 82. The Spanish telephonic operator, Telefónica, does not enter the top 100 and is placed in 133rd place.
