- 3. PwC | Global Top 100 companies - by market capitalisation The Top 100 Companies hit a new high of $39,871bn as the global macroeconomic picture stabilises and equity markets rebound. • The market capitalisation of the Top 100 companies increased by 27% ($8,438bn) compared to 31 March 2023, more than recouping prior period losses ($3,603bn). • This new high of $39,871bn means that the Top 100 companies have almost doubled in the past five years, producing a CAGR of 14% over that period. 3 Performance amongst the Magnificent Seven begins to diverge - will seven become five as the AI boom gathers pace? • The Magnificent Seven accounted for 54% of the growth in the Top 100 this year. However, a stellar performance wasn’t the case across all of the seven. • GRANOLAS, a more diverse, cyclical collection of European listed stocks, outperformed the Magnificent Seven in the prior year. However, the AI weighting of the Magnificent Seven trumped the GRANOLAS in the past year. Technology firms dominate top five with Microsoft regaining the top spot after five years and NVIDIA breaking into the top five for the first time. • The valuations of Microsoft (+46%) and NVIDIA (+225%) skyrocketed in the period, propelled by their exposure to AI, accounting for 28% of growth in the Top 100 this year. • Apple dropped into second place, one of only a few tech stocks to experience limited growth as its core product offerings come under competitive pressure and its AI story has not yet landed with investors. US continues to dominate with 62 firms in the Top 100 and a 36% increase in market capitalisation. • Eight out of the top ten firms and 62 firms overall are from the US, with NVIDIA, Meta, Eli Lilly and Broadcom more than doubling their valuation YoY. • The Health Care and Consumer sectors helped Europe achieve YoY growth of 14%, largely due to Novo Nordisk which grew significantly by 60% YoY. The largest four sectors (Tech, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services and Financials), all grew in excess of 25% in the year, outperforming their benchmarks. • The AI story drove Top 100 companies within the Technology sector to a 50% increase, outperforming the wider Technology Index by 10ppts. • The best performing sector against its relevant benchmark was Consumer Discretionary, which outperformed the benchmark index by almost 100% (35% v 18%) – albeit this was also heavily linked to the AI theme given it was largely attributable to Amazon and its AWS business. Best of the rest: Whilst AI drove the majority of the growth in valuations this year, other sectors presented interesting stories also. • Despite a modest year for most Health Care stocks, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk benefitted from soaring demand for a weight loss drug, up 126% and 60%, respectively. • Consumer sentiment appears to be moving in favour of hybrid cars over pure electric, resulting in Toyota (+76%) and Tesla (-15%) coming out at opposite ends of the spectrum. Highlights This publication analyses the Global Top 100 companies by market capitalisation as at 31 March 2024, highlighting the changes in the composition of the list at 31 March 2023. As a point of reference, the MSCI World Index increased by 23% in the year to 31 March 2024.

It now stands at $39.9bn at March 2024, an increase of 86% - this is despite the pandemic, tightening monetary policy and rising geopolitical tensions. • The growth this year has been supercharged by the surge in interest for AI, and how it may transform how companies operate. 54% of the increase was attributable to just 5 companies: Microsoft, NVIDIA, Alphabet, Amazon and Meta. NVIDIA alone accounted for almost 20% of the growth. • Health Care stocks within the Top 100 had contrasting fortunes in the year. Eli Lilley (+126%) and Novo Nordisk (+60%) accounted for 87% of gains for the sector, with the former entering the top 10 for the first time. Both entities soared thanks to the strength of their new weight loss drugs. On the other hand, Pfizer (-11%) and AstraZeneca (-6%) struggled due to patent cliffs and drug pricing headwinds. • The were 13 new entrants into the Top 100. Uber was the largest climber, rising 150 places to enter the top 100 for the first time after it posted its first annual profit since becoming a public company. CAGR 10% CAGR 14% 24 v 23 27% The Top 100 reach new highs, driven by a surge in interest for AI and restored investor appetite for equities. As the macroeconomic picture stabilised and investor appetite for equities returned, the market capitalisation of the Top 100 companies surged 27% in the year, more than recouping prior period losses. This was combined with a surge in interest towards the potential impact of AI, propelling a number of stocks to all time valuation highs.

Market Capitalisation ($bn) | Composition of the Top 100 (%) The growth of the Magnificent Seven has resulted in the aggregate value of the Top 100 becoming even more concentrated. Magnificent Seven | Here to stay? • The performance of seven particular stocks, dubbed the “Magnificent Seven”, over the last five years has resulted in increased concentration of the Top 100 aggregate value, with these seven companies now comprising 34% of the Top 100. This is similar to the proportion these seven stocks now comprise of the S&P 500 (29%). • Over the last five years, the Magnificent Seven accounted for 47% of growth in the Top 100, achieving a 23% CAGR. • The Magnificent Seven have however experienced mixed fortunes this year. Apple (+1%) and Tesla (-15%) lagged behind as neither are yet considered to be major beneficiaries of AI. • The remaining five, buoyed by the bullish sentiment for AI, all recorded significant double, or triple, digit gains. With the AI boom expected to continue and Apple and Tesla trailing, will seven become five? Are the GRANOLAS Europe's answer to the Magnificent Seven? • The GRANOLAS (9 of which are in the Top 100) are more diverse than the tech-centric Magnificent Seven, consisting of Health Care, Consumer and Technology businesses, grew 13.4% in the year. • In 2023, GRANOLAS outperformed the Magnificent Seven, proving more resilient in times of significant macroeconomic uncertainty. However, only six recorded a YoY increase. • Novo Nordisk, continued to be Europe’s showstopper, up 60% YoY driven by the success of its weight-loss supplement, significantly outperforming other Health Care GRANOLAS. Magnificent 7 CAGR | 23% GRANOLAS CAGR | 9% Rest of Top 100 CAGR | 10% The tech-centric Magnificent Seven strengthened their hold on the Top 100 again this year, contributing to 54% of the YoY growth. These seven stocks now comprise 34% of the Top 100 as of 31 March 2024. The GRANOLAS, a much more sector diverse collection of European equities, slightly exceeded the performance of the wider STOXX 600 in the year but trailed behind the YoY growth of the Magnificent Seven and their performance against the S&P 500 (50% vs 28%). 31,705 35,036 31,433 39,871 Aggregate market capitalisation ($bn) 21,385

The US is the only region where its constituents have delivered a double digit 10-year CAGR. • Europe saw a 14% increase in valuation, with Novo Nordisk contributing significantly with growth of 60% YoY. Health Care and Consumer were the dominant sectors, each of which represent approximately a quarter of Europe’s aggregate market capitalisation. • China and its regions saw the only decline in valuation, at -5% YoY, as the region’s economic headwinds negatively impacted investor sentiment. The region lost two spots, leaving it with an overall composition of ten companies. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company was a shining light for the region, entering the top 10 for the first time with growth of 39% YoY. • The Rest of the World’s valuation was spurred on by significant increases for the three largest stocks, Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Aramco), Samsung and Toyota, which increased 5% ($99bn), 25% ($81bn) and 76% ($146bn) YoY, respectively. The latter was buoyed by strong Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence LLC with PwC analysis demand for hybrid vehicles in the last year. 2014 2019 2023 2024 CAGR (10Yrs) CAGR (5Yrs) % Change 23 to 24 United States 8,346 13,311 21,199 28,785 13.2% 16.7% 35.8% Europe 3,803 3,118 4,182 4,770 2.3% 8.9% 14.1% China and its regions 1,353 3,195 2,788 2,657 7.0% -3.6% -4.7% Rest of the World 1,580 1,393 3,264 3,659 8.8% 21.3% 12.1% Total 15,082 21,016 31,433 39,871 10.2% 13.7% 26.8% The US increased its proportion of market capitalisation in the Top 100 to 72% ($28.8tn) at 31 March 2024, up 5ppts to 31 March 2023 (67%). The US also dominates the top ten, comprising eight of the ten spots (down from nine in 2023) and 62 spots overall. Apart from China and its regions, which has struggled with investor sentiment, all regions experienced growth in the year as regional equity markets rebounded from the declines experienced in 2023.

However, a marginal increase for Aramco resulted in Saudi Arabia claiming second position from China after it saw two companies fall out of the Top 100. • The dominance of the United States continues to grow.
