The recognition comes from the Fortunes list, which assesses and ranks companies based on factors, like investment value, management quality, and social responsibility. Over 3,700 analysts, directors, and executives contribute their opinions across categories to determine the admired companies.
Apple’s achievement in securing its position is attributed to its performance in areas such as responsibility, financial stability, innovation, and global competitiveness. However, despite claiming the spot this year, Apple’s overall score saw a decline compared to rankings suggesting areas where further improvement might be needed.
On the other hand, Microsoft emerged as a respected company in the computer software industry due to its remarkable accomplishments. Although Amazon slipped in rank it still maintains a presence in the internet services and retail industry – showcasing its influence in the market.
Fortune’s list includes 1,000 US-based companies along with 500 companies. To be eligible for inclusion on this list these companies must generate revenues of $10 billion or more – indicating their size and significance within their sectors.

Projections suggest that by the end of 2024, the tech giant could reach a valuation of $4 trillion; with its Services division alone valued between $1.5 trillion and $1.6 trillion.
However Apple’s success, in reaching this milestone relies heavily on its capability to maintain its growth momentum despite the changing market landscape and potential challenges it may face.
