Google earned $160.2 billion in net profit over the last 12 months. That’s 1.6x the combined net profit of India’s Nifty 50.
A single company generating more profit than an entire benchmark index highlights how powerful global technology giants have become.
For investors, this raises an important question:
- Are we underestimating the scale of global businesses?
- Can limiting investments to one market mean missing out on some of the world’s biggest wealth creators?
- Should portfolios have exposure to companies that operate across the globe?
The investment landscape is no longer just about countries. Increasingly, it’s also about owning businesses that dominate globally.
