Aramco is a very difficult valuation. The attempted IPO on LSE was a disaster and the company refused to submit to various audit requirements. Then the Saudis strong-armed their neighbours into buying stock.

At this point the true scale of their reserves is extremely difficult to estimate, and the valuation of those reserves is also difficult given the political future for oil & gas in many markets.

Realistically they will probably squeeze a trillion dollars out of it but...

One of the reasons these companies are so successful is because in many cases they make it increasingly hard to avoid using their products. For one example, AWS underpins so much of the internet so you're interacting with the company every day whether you want to or not. That company is probably the best example of an organization whose end goal is to be Buy-N-Large from the movie Wall-E.

Pretty sure Buy-N-Large was supposed to be a spoof of WalMart back in 2008. Or possibly CostCo.

Current market cap:

Amazon: $945.59B

Microsoft: $1.82T

Alphabet: $1.25T

Meta (Facebook): $293.13B

Tesla: $526.39B

A friend of mine bought Nvidia stocks a few years ago because she somehow foresaw this after reading some article. Good on her. Another friend bought German defence company Rheinmetall RIGHT AFTER Putin invaded Ukraine, that also turned out well for him (my friend, not Putin). Sometimes when it feels right to buy, it actually is.

Shocking that not a single oil company has made the list yet.
+5
Level ∞
Nov 28, 2025
You haven't been paying attention! The world has an absolute glut of oil because of fracking. And if oil companies do manage to make a profit, they are often taxed at extremely high rates. For example, North Sea oil companies are paying a 78% "windfall" tax despite oil prices being at generational lows.

Oil has been an abysmal investment for more than a decade.

To put things in perspective, back in 2010, Apple and Exxon were worth about the same. Now Apple is worth nearly 10x as much.

And Exxon is a star performer. Many smaller companies have simply went bankrupt. Many people would argue that this is the way that should be. And that's why you don't make money on oil.

Eli Lilly is getting a one time boost from blockbuster GLP-1 medications. These medications will create trillions of dollars in value. Obesity, cancer, and heart disease will fall, and US life expectancy will rise by multiple years.

So I'd say Eli Lilly "deserves" its trillion dollar valuation for the value it created.

But I wouldn't buy the stock. Why? Because, like oil, pharma is a structurally unprofitable enterprise.

1) The cost to develop new drugs doubles every 9 years (Eroom's law)

2) You only get patent protection for 20 years

3) Prices are highly regulated. The US pays 70% of the cost of all drugs worldwide, with the rest of the world mostly freeloading. This is unsustainable. Already the Trump administration has cut deals with Eli Lilly to make drugs available at much lower prices.

4) China is becoming a major player in pharma and will be able to develop drugs at a fraction of the cost

Plus Eli Lilly has competitors with Novo's Ozempic and Wegovy, then add in the Hims and Hers GLP-1 market and other compounders. On top of that, many pharma companies are working on their own GLP-1s to develop as soon as the patent is gone, or they'll find various ways around the patent.
