American
Corporations
How
These Titans Of Industry Dictate The Way We Live
As we ease past the half way point of
2013 the numbers seem to be showing signs of great progress.
Corporations have both met and surpassed revenued expectations of
all sorts as the year shows us just how disrespectful the Dow can be
in terms of being conventional. All any of us could do was sit back
and watch as it climbed to massive new high's just within the last
few months of 2013 alone. Earnings were no longer appreciated they
were now expected. As you will see certain companies have used 2013
to climb to massive new heights in two of the most coveted aspects of
Industry Revenue & Profits. All of this is vividly reflected in
some of this years record-breaking stock prices forced onto both the
NASDAQ and NYSE.
Let's
highlight by Industry some
of the most powerful Corporations situated on the Fortune 500. Mega
Companies that hold the majority of this planets wealth and all of
its resources. So take a look below these Titans of Industry by
sector. I have taken this information and combined it with industry
numbers to provide this analogy of some of the largest corporations
of the planet. The result surprising to say the least. So sit back
realize how these major corporations affect each and everyone one of
us on a daily basis while making the world a smaller place in the
process.
The
Internet Services and Retailing Industry
is tightly controlled by 7 behemoths. With Amazon sitting comfortably
on top and no reason to worry. Incredibly theses 7 companies work
both together and against each other keeping the entire globe
connected to the “World Wide Web”. Stuffed in the top 3 and
controlling the majority of all “Online”
Auctions is the “Online” Retail conglomerate eBay. Just down
below is Social Media Giant Facebook with 1.3 Billion Users. An
extremely relevant and profitable fact as no one has figured out
exactly how to use them. Manly Industry experts keep insisting
Facebook should focus its future efforts solely on its ARU
(average revenue per customer)
since they have so many of them. But as the company struggles to
value either inside or out. It learns a valuable and much needed
lesson that popularity
doesn't pay bills revenue does. While the stock ticker on Facebook
shares sit unmoved at $26 a share Industry brotheren Google and
Priceline's share prices race each other to a $1,000 both currently
past $900.
Pfizer
insisted on $59 Billion in revenues in 2012 alone. Annual earnings
per share burst firth at at a substantial $2.19 per share classifying
the year as a success. Pfizer is one of only 13 Companies that make
sure billions of patients consistently receive their medication.
Pharmaceuticals by far one of the most powerful Sectors of American
Industry. Of course as expected Get Well powerhouse
Johnson & Johnson has an iron grip over this sector as they
continue to look for new and innovative ways to keep you well and
stretch your life out a few more years. Sitting on over $259 Billion
in revenue they continue to force stock asking prices closer to $100
for every single share. Abbot Laboratories is also considered a pure
Pharmaceutical giant. Both Investors and Industry experts alike sit
back and look on , confused. No one can seem to figure out why the
stock price won't commit but instead continues to bounce up and down.
So
let's eat! The Pepsico Group heads the Sector of companies that feed
us. With current stock prices at a satisfactory $84 dollars per share
the company is really hoping their recent plunge into healthier
markets via the Yogurt Cart will give it the back the market share it
consistently lost the first half of this year and also prove once and
for all it is without question better than
Coke! General Mills is and has been for a while the hands down leader
the world in processed and packaged foods.
Kellog,
the other Elephant in the room. It seems is going around buying up
things. More important when they forced “Household and Personal
Products” giant Proctor & Gamble to accept $2.7 Billion to
relinquish ownership of Pringles
the maneuver however shrewd instantly made them the the worlds second
largest snack company right after The Group at Pepsico.
Only
11 companies dictate the most powerful Industry Sector on the planet,
Petroleum Refining.
Amazingly
less than a dozen companies scale this entire planet digging massive
holes looking for its most precious commodity. These 11 Mega-Corps
ironically also control 22% of the planets wealth. Led by Corporate
Entity Exxon Mobile
who single-handedly pulled down $836 Billion in revenue for 2012.
Chevron and Phillips 66 round out the top 3 in that order. Experts
fully expected Exxon Mobile to casually push past the $100 per share
mark this year. The stock is seemingly attracting all of the right
people for all of he right reasons. It seems the planet really is big
enough for the 3 of them at least for now. Is it time to pull the
hypothetical “Corporate Fire Alarm”. The
reason I ask is I need to know and fast how Exxon Mobile and the rest
of the gang just sit around and do nothing as Oil Prices free fall
possibly all the way down to a $55 Barrel? Simple because they can
Exxon Mobile knows the market needs them far more than they need the
market. This is proven in the fact that the stock price has doubled
over the last year alone. Sitting on well over $800 Billion in Market
Cap Exxon Mobile alone has the power to bring the world to a
standstill. Speaking in terms of just sheer numbers. I have to say
that within these 11 companies at any given time resides a
substantial amount of the worlds wealth.
Motor Vehicles &
Parts the sector that literally moves us. Alone responsible for the
worlds transportation on every level. The sector in itself can and
often has been classified as diverse as it offers corporations that
represent the motorized vehicle in several ways such as the
mass-production of American-Made vehicles and trucks by the
Automotive conglomerate General Motors. This sector also host the
rubber giant Goodyear. Wrapping rubber on 3 out of every 5 new cars
and trucks that hit the road. This alone can become a very
significant fact here in the near future as the both Ford Motor
Company and General Motors compete non-stop to produce and place as
many new cars and trucks as they can on our streets and highways.
The fact that Goodyear has to keep pace with these two manufacturing
giants as they themselves raise production levels to record highs
translates into one thing cash flow and a lot of it. With chances
being strong you will leave the lot with Goodyear Rubber on your new
car. They become even stronger the second time around as Goodyear is
the leader in replacement rubber. And even though Indian Rubber maker
Apollo Tyres just recently came to America with $2.5 Billion in cash and left with Cooper Rubber and Tire. Goodyear is in
no way shape or form worried. The company itself is too diversified
for any real threat to even come from one direction. And like I said
before the replacement market is simply providing Goodyear with a
steady stream of consistent substantial revenue while the new rubber
continues to remain in worldwide demand.
Batteries,
Note Book Paper, Potting Soil it seems as though 10 “General
Merchandisers is enough to provide us all with enough general
merchandise of any and every sort with the world's biggest
Corporation Wal-Mart leading the way. I guess when you attract $59
Billion on revenue you get to sit atop of Fortune 500's coveted list
of 500 largest U.S. Companies. Bringing in such revenue will
significantly spike any category your company sits in. that fact
alone gives the General Merchandise
sector one of the highest Industry medians (average revenue per
sector) of all the sectors. Wal-Mart sits alone atop both the
“General Merchandise” sector as well as the Fortune 500's Largest
Corporations massive and relentlessly growing. Both Family Dollar and
Dollar General quietly stepped into the marketplace and created a
new way to shop and then forced it on us all. By successfully ripping
away the entire aspect of price comparison they effectively removed
the need to decide altogether. It was only .99 cents get them both
became the new way to shop for General Merchandise.
