There are only seven trillion-dollar publicly traded stocks today: Apple , Microsoft , Amazon , Nvidia , Alphabet , Meta Platforms , and Berkshire Hathaway. There are another 10 stocks that have a market value of more than half a billion. Just like Berkshire Hathaway only recently became a trillion-dollar stock, these other 10 are excellent stocks that are likely to join the club at some point in the future.

Has Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) finally run out of earnings surprises? The high-flying AI chip superstar seemed to run out of gas in the fiscal 2025 second-quarter earnings report it released on Aug. 28. While the company beat estimates on the top and bottom lines, the differences were narrower than investors were used to, and guidance was also less impressive than some had hoped.

Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) might just be the hottest pharmaceutical company on the planet right now. The company is the developer of a number of blockbuster drugs including Verzenio, Trulicity, and Taltz. Of course, I'd be remiss to not include the company's latest hits in weight loss. Lilly's diabetes and obesity care medications , Mounjaro and Zepbound, are currently fueling a new wave of growth for the pharma leader and I don't see that slowing anytime soon.

Buffett's favorite stock, of course, is Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) , the company he has led for decades. Berkshire Hathaway isn't quite as diversified as an S&P 500 ETF, but it's not too far behind.

There was plenty of excitement around the news that Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR) would be added to the S&P 500 index. The index is widely viewed as the benchmark for U.S. stocks and there is an enormous amount of investor money tied to the index because so many exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds track/mimic its performance. Not surprisingly, when there is an announcement that a stock will be added to the S&P 500, it tends to see a nice jump in its share price.

Dividend-paying stocks always attract investor interest. However, with long-term interest rates heading down, and the Federal Reserve poised to cut short-term rates, getting income from equities seems particularly enticing. Not all stocks present the same buying opportunity, of course. It's important to look beyond the dividend yield to ensure the company can continue making payouts.
