Two companies that can beat Apple on the way to $1 trillion (2)

Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN)
This is the company with the best chance to beat Apple on the way to a $1 trillion.
First of all, because Amazon's capitalization of $690 billion is not far from the $1,000 billion.
Secondly, Amazon's growth is far ahead of Apple. Company revenue grew by nearly 40 percent, while Apple's revenue rose 13 percent in the past quarter. Amazon's profit rose more than two times in the past quarter on an annual basis, while Apple rose 16%.
In addition, Amazon shares are rising in value much faster than Apple's. Over the past three years, the stock of the retail chain has risen by 300%, against a 40% growth in Apple shares.
Last but not least, Amazon is still in the phase of accelerated growth of its business, at Apple's expense.
Put it another way, if someone goes ahead of Apple on the way to $1 trillion, then it's very likely to be Amazon.

Alphabet Inc (GOOG)
Outside of Amazon, the other company that has a good chance of overtaking Apple's leading position is Alphabet Inc.
Like Amazon, Google is not much farther from Apple in terms of market capitalization. The latter amounts to 720 billion dollars.
And just like Amazon, Google is growing much faster than Apple. Google's revenue growth is 24%, compared to 13% growth for Apple. Google's profit rose 28%, compared to 16% for Apple.

Good results from Amazon and Alphabet

The US indices and the dollar remained unchanged on Thursday, in expectation of the key news about the growth of the US economy on Friday.
The S&P 500 is trading very close to its historic peak, and whether it will be overcome will depend on its medium-term movement.
Reported good results from US companies have helped the technological Nasdaq to rise to a new historic record.
After the good results, Amazon.com's shares rose to a new historic record at the OTC session, where they added nearly 5% of their value. The company posted sales growth of 23 percent to $35.7 billion, which exceeded analysts' average expectations of $35.2 billion.
The market capitalization of the company is approaching the psychological limit of $200 billion.
After the good results, a growth of nearly 4% recorded also Alphabet Inc. The company's profit has risen by 29% over the past quarter and shows no signs of slowing pace.
