 Gas production

 Fadhili

 More info

 Fadhili

 The cutting edge Fadhili Gas Plant (FGP) is emblematic of Saudi Aramco’s broad impact on not only boosting gas supply to displace crude burning, but also driving economic growth, developing the Saudi workforce, spearheading technology deployment, and reducing CO2 emissions. FGP construction started in 2016 and was completed and put fully onstream in 2020.

 With a total processing capacity of 2.5 BSCFD, FGP is the first plant in the region to have the capability of sweetening low BTU gas, then directly powering an independent power plant, yet able to switch to regular sales gas as needed. In addition, Fadhili is the first plant to treat nonassociated gas from both onshore and offshore fields.

 FGP is also the first SA Gas plant to deploy the Sulfur Recovery Unit Tail Gas Treatment process to attain a sulfur recovery rate of 99.9%, helping to protect air quality, and reducing SO2 emissions by more than 18,000 Metric Tons per year as compared to the conventional Claus process.

 The development of Fadhili added billions of dollars to the local economy through IKTVA. 46% of the project’s materials and services were sourced and manufactured in Saudi Arabia.

 A unique feature of Fadhili is that its multiple downstream treated gas pipelines enhanced the connectivity, reliability, and responsiveness of Saudi Aramco’s Master Gas System (MGS), as those pipelines are connected to the northern and central sections of the MGS.

 Hawiyah

 More info

 Hawiyah

 We are expanding the gas processing capacity of our Hawiyah gas plant by more than 1 BSCFD. The new gas processing facilities, expected to be on stream in 2022, are anticipated to raise total production capacity of the plant to approximately 3.6 BSCFD, making it one of the largest gas processing facilities in the world.

 We are making improvements to sustain gas production from both the Haradh and Hawiyah fields for the next 20 years and boost production by an average of 1.2 BSCFD. The program includes installing gas compression facilities, liquid separation stations, and transmission lines to our Haradh and Hawiyah gas plants, along with expanding the existing gas gathering pipeline network.

 Karan

 More info

 Karan

 Karan, was our first non-associated offshore gas field development. Discovered in 2006 in the thickest, extremely prolific and complex carbonate layers, the project was fast-tracked, taking only six years to go from discovery to production.

 Non-associated gas fields do not have an associated oil column and, therefore, can be accessed without producing oil. The raw gas is transported through a 110-kilometer subsea pipeline to the Khursaniyah Gas Plant for processing.

 Shaybah

 More info

 Shaybah

 The natural gas liquids (NGL) recovery plant at Shaybah was commissioned and began production in late 2015, with a second processing train starting up in 2016. The plant NGL production helps Saudi Aramco to meet increasing demand for petrochemical feedstock.

 Designed to process as much as 2.4 BSCFD of associated gas and recover 275,000 bpd of ethane plus NGL, the Shaybah facility feeds these volumes of NGL via pipeline to Ju’aymah for further processing before being delivered as petrochemical feedstock to industrial cities.

 Wasit

 More info

 Wasit

 Wasit, one of the largest gas plants we have ever built, was brought onstream in October 2015 and reached full operating capacity in mid-2016. Unlike our other gas plants, Wasit is designed to process solely nonassociated gas.

 To feed Wasit, we brought gas production onstream from the big bore nonassociated gas wells in our offshore Arabiyah and Hasbah fields, situated approximately 150 km northeast of Jubail Industrial City in the Arabian Gulf. With the startup of production from these two fields, more than 40% of our nonassociated gas now comes from offshore fields.

 Our continued success in increasing supplies of cleaner burning natural gas makes it possible for us to reduce emissions, enable new industries and release more crude oil for value-added refining or export.

 Oil production & Refineries

 Abqaiq

 More info

 Abqaiq

 As the company's largest oil processing facility and the largest crude oil stabilization plant in the world, Abqaiq plays a pivotal role in our day-to-day operations.

 Abqaiq oil facilities receive sour crude oil from gas-oil separation plants (GOSPs), process it into sweet crude oil, and then transport it to Ras Tanura and Jubail on the east coast, Yanbu' on the west coast and to Bapco Refinery in Bahrain. The off gases from the spheroids and stabilizer columns that are part of the conversion process are then sent to Abqaiq natural gas liquids (NGL) facilities for further processing.

 Abqaiq is the main oil processing center for Arabian Extra Light and Arabian Light crude oils.

 Ghawar

 More info

 Ghawar

 The northern-most portion of the Ghawar field lies approximately 100 kilometers west of Dhahran. The field comprises six main areas (Fazran, Ain Dar, Shedgum, Uthaminyah, Hawiyah and Haradh) and extends southward over more than 200 kilometers as one long continuous anticline. It is approximately 36 kilometers across at its widest point.

 We believe that the Ghawar field is the largest oil field in the world in terms of conventional proved reserves, totaling 58.32 billion barrels of oil equivalent as at 31 December 2018. It has accounted for more than half of the total cumulative crude oil production in the Kingdom.

 The Ghawar field facilities and infrastructure remain a central component in our long-term strategic framework for optimizing both technical recovery of resources and the economic of resource management.

 Haradh

 More info

 Haradh

 The Haradh area, located at the southern tip of the Ghawar oil field, was developed in three increments of 300,000 bpd of Arabian Light crude oil capacity.

 Haradh III was also the first plant in the Southern Area of company operations to have completely automated well control and monitoring, allowing remote operations. The project benefited from successful integration of four technologies: multilateral, maximum reservoir contact (MRC) wells; Smart Well completions (using control valves for preventing premature water breakthrough); geosteering (for optimal placement of wells in the reservoir for maximum recovery); and the “intelligent field” concept, in which real-time sub-surface data transmissions enable continual monitoring of key reservoir indicators. The integrated use of these four technologies slashed unit well development costs three-fold.

 Khurais

 More info

 Khurais

 The Khurais complex, which comprises of the Abu Jifan and Mazalij fields in addition to Khurais itself, is approximately 106 kilometers long and 18 kilometers across at its widest point.

 Khursaniyah

 More info

 Khursaniyah

 The Khursaniyah program includes facilities to process and stabilize 500,000 bpd of Arabian Light crude oil blend from the Abu Hadriya, Fadhili and Khursaniyah fields, and a grassroots gas plant to process one billion scfd of associated gas.

 Khursaniyah began producing oil in August 2008. The facility also has the capacity to inject 1.1 million bpd of non-potable water for reservoir pressure maintenance.

 Manifa

 More info

 Manifa

 The UNESCO environmental responsibility award nominated Manifa crude oil development was designed to produce 900,000 bpd of Arabian Heavy crude oil, 90 million scfd of sour gas, and 65,000 bpd of hydrocarbon condensate.

 By employing best-in-class technologies in infrastructure, drilling and production activities, the project consumed more than 80 million man hours without a lost time injury.

 Prior to construction, extensive engineering and ecological assessments were conducted to ensure that the marine ecosystem would not be adversely affected by developing the field. As a direct result of these studies, Saudi Aramco constructed three kilometers of bridges to span the migration paths of various marine species, maintaining natural water flow and preserving natural marine nurseries.

 Nuayyim

 More info

 Nuayyim

 Nuayyim crude oil increment added 100,000 bpd of Arabian Super Light crude oil and 90 million scfd of associated gas to our production capacity.

 The project – the first in-Kingdom project of this scale with a project proposal completed entirely in Saudi Arabia – also included a gas-oil separation plant, 140 kilometers of 16” gas pipeline, and water supply facilities at Hawtah. Smokeless flaring has been used to significantly reduce emissions.

 The field, which entered production in August 2009, is 250 kilometers south of Riyadh and about 50 kilometers northeast of our Hawtah crude oil facility, the first producing facility in the Central Region of Saudi Arabia.

 Qatif

 More info

 Qatif

 Qatif Producing Plants Program consists of facilities to produce, process, and transport 500,000 bpd of blended Arabian Light crude oil from the Qatif field and 300,000 bpd of Arabian Medium crude oil from the offshore Abu Sa'fah field.

 The Qatif facility was the first to produce Arabian Light crude oil by blending Arabian Extra Light, Light and Medium grades.

 Safaniyah

 More info

 Safaniyah

 We believe that Safaniyah field is the world's largest conventional offshore oil field in terms of proved reserves. It is located approximately 260 kilometers north of Dhahran. Most of the field lies offshore in the Arabian Gulf. Within the Concession area, the Safaniyah field is approximately 50 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide.

 Shaybah

 More info

 Shaybah

 The Shaybah field, located in the Rub’ al-Khali or Empty Quarter, was discovered in 1968. Its remote location, local summer temperatures in excess of 50 degrees Celsius and sand dunes higher than 300 meters presented serious challenges. So for technical and economic reasons, development was held off until 20 years later. However, by the 1990s, advances in 3D seismic imaging technology, horizontal drilling and other technologies gave us the tools we needed to begin production.

 The field is approximately 13 kilometers wide and 64 kilometers long. Due to the field's remoteness, its facilities include a dedicated NGL recovery unit, an airfield and accommodation for staff.

 Our second 250,000 bpd expansion project at Shaybah came on-stream in 2016, raising its overall production capacity to 1 million bpd of Arabian Extra Light crude oil — double the facility’s original capacity.

<div><p>As Sergey and I wrote in the original founders letter 11 years ago, âGoogle is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one.â As part of that, we also said that you could expect us to make âsmaller bets in areas that might seem very speculative or even strange when compared to our current businesses.â From the start, weâve always strived to do more, and to do important and meaningful things with the resources we have. <a href="#">more</a></p><div><p>We did a lot of things that seemed crazy at the time. Many of those crazy things now have over a billion users, like Google Maps, YouTube, Chrome, and Android. And we havenât stopped there. We are still trying to do things other people think are crazy but we are super excited about.</p>
 <p>Weâve long believed that over time companies tend to get comfortable doing the same thing, just making incremental changes. But in the technology industry, where revolutionary ideas drive the next big growth areas, you need to be a bit uncomfortable to stay relevant.</p>
 <p>Our company is operating well today, but we think we can make it cleaner and more accountable. So we are creating a new company, called Alphabet. I am really excited to be running Alphabet as CEO with help from my capable partner, Sergey, as President.</p>
 <p>What is Alphabet? Alphabet is mostly a collection of companies. The largest of which, of course, is Google. This newer Google is a bit slimmed down, with the companies that are pretty far afield of our main internet products contained in Alphabet instead. What do we mean by far afield? Good examples are our health efforts: Life Sciences (that works on the glucose-sensing contact lens), and <a href="http://www.calicolabs.com/">Calico</a> (focused on longevity). Fundamentally, we believe this allows us more management scale, as we can run things independently that arenât very related.</p>
 <p>Alphabet is about businesses prospering through strong leaders and independence. In general, our model is to have a strong CEO who runs each business, with Sergey and me in service to them as needed. We will rigorously handle capital allocation and work to make sure each business is executing well. Weâll also make sure we have a great CEO for each business, and weâll determine their compensation. In addition, with this new structure we plan to implement segment reporting for our Q4 results, where Google financials will be provided separately than those for the rest of Alphabet businesses as a whole.</p>
 <p>This new structure will allow us to keep tremendous focus on the extraordinary opportunities we have inside of Google. A key part of this is Sundar Pichai. Sundar has been saying the things I would have said (and sometimes better!) for quite some time now, and Iâve been tremendously enjoying our work together. He has really stepped up since October of last year, when he took on product and engineering responsibility for our internet businesses. Sergey and I have been super excited about his progress and dedication to the company. And it is clear to us and our board that it is time for Sundar to be CEO of Google. I feel very fortunate to have someone as talented as he is to run the slightly slimmed down Google and this frees up time for me to continue to scale our aspirations. I have been spending quite a bit of time with Sundar, helping him and the company in any way I can, and I will of course continue to do that. Google itself is also making all sorts of new products, and I know Sundar will always be focused on innovationâcontinuing to stretch boundaries. I know he deeply cares that we can continue to make big strides on our core mission to organize the worldâs information. Recent launches like Google Photos and Google Now using machine learning are amazing progress. Google also has some services that are run with their own identity, like YouTube. Susan is doing a great job as CEO, running a strong brand and driving incredible growth.</p>
 <p>Sergey and I are seriously in the business of starting new things.

</div>
<h2>Investing in Single Product Companies</h2>
<div>
<p>One of the fundamental pillars of a successful <a href="https://www.dividend.com/how-to-retire/dividend-stocks-in-roth-iras-an-exceptional-retirement-strategy/">investment strategy</a> over the long haul is diversification. Seasoned professionals always preach about the importance of maintaining a well-balanced portfolio of securities, and for good reason too: spreading out your exposure across sectors, market caps, and even geographies is a surefire way to mitigate some of your risk while still having “skin in the game.”</p>
<p>It may seem a bit counterintuitive, but there is actually good reason to consider investing in companies that are not very diversified. That is to say, finding companies that derive the majority of their revenues from one kind of product or a particular service [see also <a href="https://www.dividend.com/how-to-invest/best-global-brands-that-pay-dividends/">Best Global Brands That Pay Dividends</a>].</p>
<p>The appeal behind investing in these so-called “one trick ponies” is actually very straightforward; because these firms are focused on just one product, investors can more accurately pinpoint the underlying price drivers and thereby have a clearer sense of where the stock might be headed.</p>
<p>Think about this: it’s much harder to isolate, understand, and gauge the potential headwinds and catalysts for a company with a vast product lineup compared to a firm that predominantly focuses on a single line of business. Likewise, these single-product companies also bear more risk; the simplicity of their business models is also their greatest source of risk, seeing as how one negative development in their particular sector can have a devastating effect on the entire company.</p>
<p>Below we take a look under the hood of five dividend-paying, single-product companies:</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><strong>WD-40 Co. (<a href="https://www.dividend.com/stocks/materials/chemicals/specialty-chemicals/wdfc-wd-40-co/"></a> )</strong></p>
<p>Anyone who has ever had to get their hands dirty in the garage or their local hardware store has likely come across WD-40, the iconic lubricant. Originally named the “Rocket Chemical Company,” today the firm boasts a <a href="https://www.dividend.com/dividend-stocks/foreign-dividend-stocks.php">global reach</a> and its product lineup spans beyond the famous “Water Displacement on the 40th try” formula, or WD-40 for short. Nonetheless, the company remains focused on selling lubricants; according to the latest annual report, WD-40 had two product lines, multi-purpose maintenance products and homecare &amp; cleaning products, of which the former accounted for over 80% of total sales.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><strong>Clorox Co. (<a href="https://www.dividend.com/stocks/consumer-staples/consumer-products/household-products/clx-clorox-co/"></a> )</strong></p>
<p>If you don’t know the Clorox brand then you need to help out more with cleaning chores around the house. This 100-year old consumer goods company is known for a variety of household brands in addition to the famous Clorox bleach, including: Pine-Sol cleaner, Fresh Step cat litter, Glad trash bags, Hidden Valley salad dressings, Brita water filters, and Kingsford charcoal among many others. According to the latest annual filing, revenues from the liquid bleach product alone accounted for approximately 14% of total sales.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><strong>Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. (<a href="https://www.dividend.com/stocks/consumer-discretionary/home-office-products/home-improvement/smg-scotts-miracle-gro-co/"></a> )</strong></p>
<p>This company has been selling lawn seed since 1868 and today it has grown into a behemoth, boasting easily one of the most recognizable brands in the lawn and garden market. In addition to selling Miracle-Gro brand fertilizer, Scotts boasts a handful of other recognizable brands, including: Roundup weed control, Tomcat rodent control, Ortho pest control, and Earthgro mulch. According to the latest annual filing, the company has two operating segments, Global Consumer and Scotts LawnService; the former of these segments includes the well-known lawn and garden product lineup and accounted for nearly 90% of total sales [see also <a href="https://www.dividend.com/investor-resources/25-financial-advisor-blogs-actually-worth-reading/">25 Financial Advisor Blogs Actually Worth Reading</a>].</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><strong>Tootsie Roll (<a href="https://www.dividend.com/stocks/consumer-staples/consumer-products/packaged-food/tr-tootsie-roll/">TR</a> )</strong></p>
<p>This Chicago-based candy maker has been around since 1896 and its flagship product then, the Tootsie Roll, remains one of the most iconic sweets on the market today. The company boasts a variety of other recognizable products from the candy aisle in addition to the Tootsie Roll, including: Frooties, Dots, Charms Blow Pops, as well as Junior Mints. In its most recent annual filing, the company notes that “sales normally maintain a consistent level throughout the year except for a substantial increase in the third quarter which reflects pre-Halloween and back-to-school sales,” and while this is by no means surprising, it does emphasize the fact that single-product companies are for the most part impacted by fewer factors compared to companies that operate in several different industries.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><strong>Nutrisystem Inc. (<a href="https://www.dividend.com/stocks/uncategorized/other//ntri-nutrisystem-inc/"></a>)</strong></p>
<p>Founded originally in 1972, Nutrisystem has evolved from selling weight loss counseling and products in brick and mortar locations to a direct-to-consumer model. Today, the company sells its products online, on TV, over the phone, and even in big-box retailers; its offerings include a combination of ready-to-go food, fresh-frozen menu items, as well as its well-known weight management program. According to the latest annual filing, revenue consists primarily of food sales and “is strongest in the first calendar quarter and lowest in the fourth calendar quarter,” which goes to showcase the seasonal nature of many single-product companies [learn about <a href="https://www.dividend.com/dividend-investing-101/dividend-dates/">Dividend Dates here</a>].</p>
</div>
<h2>Companies That Don’t Do What You Think They Do</h2>
<div>
<p>The old adage “don’t judge a book by its cover” holds quite a bit of weight on Wall Street as any seasoned market veteran will warn you of reaching conclusions about investment opportunities without even having opened the book so to say. Plain and simple, one of the fundamental pillars of having a a successful investment track record over the long-haul is being diligent.</p>
<p>Doing some good ole fashioned research and digging through filings can help you get an edge by avoiding one of the pitfalls that many younger investors fall into; that is, being overconfident and pulling the trigger too early on a company they didn’t really investigate [see <a href="https://www.dividend.com/dividend-education/free-lunch-on-wall-street-21-ways-investors-can-make-and-keep-more-money/">Free Lunch on Wall Street: 21 Ways Investors Can Make (and Keep) More Money</a>].</p>
<p>As with many things in life, looks can be deceiving, and stocks are no different. Below we highlight five well-known dividend payers that are associated with iconic products, but in reality, they actually derive a bulk of their revenues from other lines of business. Here are some of the most popular companies that do not do what you may think they do:</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><strong> Corp. (<a href="https://www.dividend.com/stocks/technology/technology-services/it-services/ibm-ibm-corp/"></a> )</strong></p>
<p>Commonly referred to as “Big Blue,” went on to introduce a number of inventions throughout the 20th century that revolutionized our everyday lives, and one of the most memorable ones was the 5150; this was among the first “personal computers,” and it quickly became the industry standard, earning the reputation as a “PC company.” According to the most <a href="http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/displayfilinginfo.aspx?filingid=9808270&amp;tabindex=2&amp;type=html">recent annual filing</a>, however, it’s apparent that is no longer the so-called “computer company” despite many investors’ first thoughts when they stumble across the stock [see <a href="https://www.dividend.com/how-to-invest/ibms-best-day-ever-ibm/">IBM’s Best Day Ever</a>].</p>
<p>In 2013, global technology services, which includes providing IT infrastructure and business process services, accounted for 38% of total revenues; even the second biggest operating segment isn’t related to computer hardware, it’s consulting and application management services, and accounts for 18% of total revenues.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><strong>General Electric (<a href="https://www.dividend.com/stocks/industrials/electrical-equipment/electrical-power-equipment/ge-general-electric/">GE</a> )</strong></p>
<p>This company has been around for well over 100 years and, given its ties with the great inventor Thomas Edison, it’s no wonder that many still think of it as an electric company of some sort. This couldn’t be further from the truth today, as GE has evolved into a diversified behemoth that has a lot more to do with financing than it does with electricity. According to its <a href="http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/displayfilinginfo.aspx?filingid=9817008&amp;tabindex=2&amp;type=html">2013 annual filing</a>, the company’s biggest operating segment, GE Capital, which provides financial services globally, accounted for 30% of total revenues. Some may be surprised to learn <a href="http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/displayfilinginfo.aspx?filingid=9817008&amp;tabindex=2&amp;type=html">just how diversified the company is</a>, boasting a presence in everything from the energy and aviation markets to healthcare and transportation, among others.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><strong>Xerox (<a href="https://www.dividend.com/stocks/technology/technology-services/it-services/xrx-xerox-holdings-corp/"></a> )</strong></p>
<p>Xerox was founded in 1906 and soon thereafter it earned the reputation as “the copy machine company” after debuting the Xerox 914; this was the first plain paper photocopier and its instant success re-ignited momentum for the company, which had struggled with a slow and costly research and development process in the years prior. Fast forward to today, and not surprisingly Xerox doesn’t really make its money from selling photocopy machines anymore. According to its <a href="http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/displayfilinginfo.aspx?filingid=9802966&amp;tabindex=2&amp;type=html">2013 annual filing</a>, the company’s biggest revenue source was its services segment, accounting for 55% of total revenues; this includes administrative, management, and technology services for major industries and government agencies around the globe.</p>

<p><strong>The J.M. Smucker Company (<a href="https://www.dividend.com/stocks/consumer-staples/consumer-products/packaged-food/sjm-the-jm-smucker-company/"></a> )</strong></p>
<p>The company behind the iconic American fruit spreads has been in business since 1897 and the “Smucker’s” brand remains one of the most recognizable food brands. Today, the company makes a lot more than fruit jam, however, which might be surprising for many investors who are quick to connect it with only its most iconic product. According to its most recent <a href="http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/displayfilinginfo.aspx?filingid=9364489&amp;tabindex=2&amp;type=html">annual filing</a>, the company’s biggest operating segment was retail coffee, which accounted for 39% of total revenues. Although many associate Smucker’s with fruit jams and brand peanut butter, the company is also behind the Folgers brand, which has become a staple in kitchens across America.</p>

 Companies That Own the World's Most Popular Brands

 Daniela Pylypczak-Wasylyszyn

 In today’s global market, it is difficult to find a company that only focuses on a single line of products or services. Add to that the high level of merger and acquisition activity seen in recent years, and investors may be surprised to see how vast and diversified a company’s product or service lineup is.

 In this piece, we take a look at nine well-known mega-corporations, each of which has a significant presence in their respective industries. They are often referred to as companies that own the world, given their wide reach. A closer look at each company’s businesses reveals that these firms own a vast majority of the most popular brands and businesses.

 Unilever

 Unilever (UL ) is one of the largest consumer goods manufacturers in the world. Its product lineup is also one of the most diversified; the company sells everything from soap to olive oil. Some of its major brands include: Dove, Axe, Lipton, Ben & Jerry’s, Vaseline, Knorr, Bertolli, Wall’s Ice Cream, Hellmann’s, Pond’s, Tresemme, St. Ives, and Slimfast.

 Unilever’s products are sold in over 190 countries, and according to the company’s annual report, roughly 2 billion customers worldwide use Unilver products on any given day. Those stats put Unilever in an elite group of companies that own the most brands across the globe.

 PepsiCo

 Though best known for its iconic Pepsi soda, PepsiCo ( PEP ) has expanded past its soft drink roots, offering some of the most popular snack food brands. The company’s top snacks include Doritos, Cheetos, Tostitos, Fritos, Lay’s, Ruffles, Stacy’s, Sabra, and muller [see also 12 Companies Paying Reliable Monthly Dividends].

 Pepsi has also expanded its beverage lineup, which includes Mountain Dew, Gatorade, Tropicana, 7up, Lipton (through a joint venture with Unilever), Naked Juice, Aquafina, and select bottled Starbucks products.

 Coca-Cola Co.

 The Coca-Cola Company (KO ) is also known for its iconic lineup of soda – Coca-Cola and Diet Coke. Over the years, the company has expanded into other beverage lines, featuring brands like Sprite, Fanta, Dasani, Fresca, TaB, Powerade, and VitaminWater.

 Coca-Cola also offers a line of healthier drink options including Simply Orange, Minute Maid, Odwalla, Fuze, Honest Tea and Zico.

 Anheuser-Busch InBev

 Anheuser-Busch In Bev ( BUD ) is one of the largest brewers in the world with a lineup of more than 200 beer brands. The company’s three global brands are Budweiser, Corona, and Stella Artois. Its international brands include Becks, Leffe, and Hoegaarden [see also The Unofficial Dividend.com Guide To Being An Investor].

 ABInBev also has an impressive lineup of local brews, including Brahma, Chernigivske, Jupiler, Skol, Labatt, and St. Pauli Girl.

 Procter & Gamble

 Procter & Gamble (PG ) is by far one of the largest and most established consumer products companies. P&G is best known for its lineup of household cleaning products, including: Charmin, Bounce, Tide, Febreze, Cascade, Downy, Mr. Clean, and Bounty.

 The company also sells some well-known beauty and healthcare products including Pantene haircare, Olay, CoverGirl, Old Spice, Gillette, Crest, and Oral-B.

 According to P&G, 25 of its brands generate more than $1 billion in annual sales; of its vast product lineup, 50 brands represent more than 90% of the company’s sales and profits.

 Kraft

 Kraft Foods Group ( KRFT ) is one of the largest food and beverage companies in North America. For its beverage lineup, Kraft brands include Maxwell House, MiO, Crystal Light, Tassimo, CapriSun, Kool-Aid, Gevalia, and Country Time.

 Kraft also owns the brands A.1., Athenos, Breakstones, Cheez Whiz, Claussen, Cracker Barrel, Jell-o, Lunchables, Miracle Whip, Oscar Mayer, Philadelphia, Planters, Polly O, and Velveeta.

 The J.M. Smucker Company

 The J.M. Smucker Company ( SJM ) is best known for its iconic fruit spreads. Today, however, the company makes a lot more than fruit jam. A closer look at the company’s SEC filing shows that the company’s biggest operating segment is actually its retail coffee. The company’s coffee brands include the iconic Folgers, Cafe Bustelo, Dunkin’ Donuts’ retail packaged coffee, kava, Medaglia Doro, Milstone, and Pilon [see also The Unofficial History of Warren Buffett].

 The company also owns the popular brands Jif, Pilsbury, Eagle Brand, Crisco, Hungry Jack, Magnolia, Martha White, and truRoots.

 Darden Restaurants

 While Darden Restaurants’ ( DRI ) portfolio may not be as impressive as some of the other companies on this list, the firm does own some of the largest casual dining restaurants in the U.S. and Canada.

 Darden’s family of restaurants include Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Bahama Breeze, Seasons 52, The Capital Grille, Eddie V’s and Yard House. Through the company’s subsidiaries, Darden owns and operates more than 2,1000 restaurants, which serve more than 425 million meals a year.

 Comcast Corporation

 After several high-profile mergers and acquisitions, Comcast Corporation ( CCV ) is now one of the largest media companies in the world. The company is split up into two major businesses: Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal. The Cable segment provides personal and business solutions for TV, internet, and communications.

 NBCUniversal is even more impressive, since its presense in the U.S. media industry is a substantial one. The company owns several cable networks including Bravo, Chiller, E!, MSNBC , NBC Sports, Oxygen, Syfy, and the Weather Channel. NBC also owns Fandango, Hulu, iVillage. On the filmed entertainment side, the company owns Universal Pictures and Focus Features. Last, but not lease, the portfolio also includes Universal Parks & Resorts and Universal Studios Hollywood.

 Investing in Single Product Companies

 One of the fundamental pillars of a successful investment strategy over the long haul is diversification. Seasoned professionals always preach about the importance of maintaining a well-balanced portfolio of securities, and for good reason too: spreading out your exposure across sectors, market caps, and even geographies is a surefire way to mitigate some of your risk while still having “skin in the game.”

 It may seem a bit counterintuitive, but there is actually good reason to consider investing in companies that are not very diversified. That is to say, finding companies that derive the majority of their revenues from one kind of product or a particular service [see also Best Global Brands That Pay Dividends].

 The appeal behind investing in these so-called “one trick ponies” is actually very straightforward; because these firms are focused on just one product, investors can more accurately pinpoint the underlying price drivers and thereby have a clearer sense of where the stock might be headed.

 Think about this: it’s much harder to isolate, understand, and gauge the potential headwinds and catalysts for a company with a vast product lineup compared to a firm that predominantly focuses on a single line of business. Likewise, these single-product companies also bear more risk; the simplicity of their business models is also their greatest source of risk, seeing as how one negative development in their particular sector can have a devastating effect on the entire company.

 Below we take a look under the hood of five dividend-paying, single-product companies:

 WD-40 Co. ( WDFC )

 Anyone who has ever had to get their hands dirty in the garage or their local hardware store has likely come across WD-40, the iconic lubricant. Originally named the “Rocket Chemical Company,” today the firm boasts a global reach and its product lineup spans beyond the famous “Water Displacement on the 40th try” formula, or WD-40 for short. Nonetheless, the company remains focused on selling lubricants; according to the latest annual SEC report, WD-40 had two product lines, multi-purpose maintenance products and homecare & cleaning products, of which the former accounted for over 80% of total sales.

 Clorox Co. ( CLX )

 If you don’t know the Clorox brand then you need to help out more with cleaning chores around the house. This 100-year old consumer goods company is known for a variety of household brands in addition to the famous Clorox bleach, including: Pine-Sol cleaner, Fresh Step cat litter, Glad trash bags, Hidden Valley salad dressings, Brita water filters, and Kingsford charcoal among many others. According to the latest annual SEC filing, revenues from the liquid bleach product alone accounted for approximately 14% of total sales.

 Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. ( SMG )

 This company has been selling lawn seed since 1868 and today it has grown into a behemoth, boasting easily one of the most recognizable brands in the lawn and garden market. In addition to selling Miracle-Gro brand fertilizer, Scotts boasts a handful of other recognizable brands, including: Roundup weed control, Tomcat rodent control, Ortho pest control, and Earthgro mulch. According to the latest annual SEC filing, the company has two operating segments, Global Consumer and Scotts LawnService; the former of these segments includes the well-known lawn and garden product lineup and accounted for nearly 90% of total sales [see also 25 Financial Advisor Blogs Actually Worth Reading].

 Tootsie Roll (TR )

 This Chicago-based candy maker has been around since 1896 and its flagship product then, the Tootsie Roll, remains one of the most iconic sweets on the market today. The company boasts a variety of other recognizable products from the candy aisle in addition to the Tootsie Roll, including: Frooties, Dots, Charms Blow Pops, as well as Junior Mints. In its most recent annual SEC filing, the company notes that “sales normally maintain a consistent level throughout the year except for a substantial increase in the third quarter which reflects pre-Halloween and back-to-school sales,” and while this is by no means surprising, it does emphasize the fact that single-product companies are for the most part impacted by fewer factors compared to companies that operate in several different industries.

 Nutrisystem Inc. ( NTRI )

 Founded originally in 1972, Nutrisystem has evolved from selling weight loss counseling and products in brick and mortar locations to a direct-to-consumer model. Today, the company sells its products online, on TV, over the phone, and even in big-box retailers; its offerings include a combination of ready-to-go food, fresh-frozen menu items, as well as its well-known weight management program. According to the latest annual SEC filing, revenue consists primarily of food sales and “is strongest in the first calendar quarter and lowest in the fourth calendar quarter,” which goes to showcase the seasonal nature of many single-product companies [learn about Dividend Dates here].

 Companies That Don’t Do What You Think They Do

 The old adage “don’t judge a book by its cover” holds quite a bit of weight on Wall Street as any seasoned market veteran will warn you of reaching conclusions about investment opportunities without even having opened the book so to say. Plain and simple, one of the fundamental pillars of having a a successful investment track record over the long-haul is being diligent.

 Doing some good ole fashioned research and digging through SEC filings can help you get an edge by avoiding one of the pitfalls that many younger investors fall into; that is, being overconfident and pulling the trigger too early on a company they didn’t really investigate [see Free Lunch on Wall Street: 21 Ways Investors Can Make (and Keep) More Money].

 As with many things in life, looks can be deceiving, and stocks are no different. Below we highlight five well-known dividend payers that are associated with iconic products, but in reality, they actually derive a bulk of their revenues from other lines of business. Here are some of the most popular companies that do not do what you may think they do:

 IBM Corp. ( IBM )

 Commonly referred to as “Big Blue,” IBM went on to introduce a number of inventions throughout the 20th century that revolutionized our everyday lives, and one of the most memorable ones was the IBM 5150; this was among the first “personal computers,” and it quickly became the industry standard, earning IBM the reputation as a “PC company.” According to the most recent annual SEC filing, however, it’s apparent that IBM is no longer the so-called “computer company” despite many investors’ first thoughts when they stumble across the stock [see IBM’s Best Day Ever].

 In 2013, global technology services, which includes providing IT infrastructure and business process services, accounted for 38% of total revenues; even the second biggest operating segment isn’t related to computer hardware, it’s consulting and application management services, and accounts for 18% of total revenues.

 General Electric (GE )

 This company has been around for well over 100 years and, given its ties with the great inventor Thomas Edison, it’s no wonder that many still think of it as an electric company of some sort. This couldn’t be further from the truth today, as GE has evolved into a diversified behemoth that has a lot more to do with financing than it does with electricity. According to its 2013 annual SEC filing, the company’s biggest operating segment, GE Capital, which provides financial services globally, accounted for 30% of total revenues. Some may be surprised to learn just how diversified the company is, boasting a presence in everything from the energy and aviation markets to healthcare and transportation, among others.

 Xerox ( XRX )

 Xerox was founded in 1906 and soon thereafter it earned the reputation as “the copy machine company” after debuting the Xerox 914; this was the first plain paper photocopier and its instant success re-ignited momentum for the company, which had struggled with a slow and costly research and development process in the years prior. Fast forward to today, and not surprisingly Xerox doesn’t really make its money from selling photocopy machines anymore. According to its 2013 annual SEC filing, the company’s biggest revenue source was its services segment, accounting for 55% of total revenues; this includes administrative, management, and technology services for major industries and government agencies around the globe.

 The J.M. Smucker Company ( SJM )

 The company behind the iconic American fruit spreads has been in business since 1897 and the “Smucker’s” brand remains one of the most recognizable food brands. Today, the company makes a lot more than fruit jam, however, which might be surprising for many investors who are quick to connect it with only its most iconic product. According to its most recent annual SEC filing, the company’s biggest operating segment was retail coffee, which accounted for 39% of total revenues. Although many associate Smucker’s with fruit jams and JIF brand peanut butter, the company is also behind the Folgers brand, which has become a staple in kitchens across America.

 The Bottom Line

 While diversification can be beneficial to any business strategy, it is important for investors to realize just how strong some of these mega corporation’s grasp is on their respective industries.

In today’s global market, it is difficult to find a company that only focuses on a single line of products or services. Add to that the high level of merger and acquisition activity seen in recent years, and investors may be surprised to see how vast and diversified a company’s product or service lineup is.
In this piece, we take a look at nine well-known mega-corporations, each of which has a significant presence in their respective industries. They are often referred to as companies that own the world, given their wide reach. A closer look at each company’s businesses reveals that these firms own a vast majority of the most popular brands and businesses.
Unilever
Unilever (UL ) is one of the largest consumer goods manufacturers in the world. Its product lineup is also one of the most diversified; the company sells everything from soap to olive oil. Some of its major brands include: Dove, Axe, Lipton, Ben &amp; Jerry’s, Vaseline, Knorr, Bertolli, Wall’s Ice Cream, Hellmann’s, Pond’s, Tresemme, St. Ives, and Slimfast.
Unilever’s products are sold in over 190 countries, and according to the company’s annual report, roughly 2 billion customers worldwide use Unilver products on any given day. Those stats put Unilever in an elite group of companies that own the most brands across the globe.
PepsiCo
Though best known for its iconic Pepsi soda, PepsiCo (  ) has expanded past its soft drink roots, offering some of the most popular snack food brands. The company’s top snacks include Doritos, Cheetos, Tostitos, Fritos, Lay’s, Ruffles, Stacy’s, Sabra, and muller [see also 12 Companies Paying Reliable Monthly Dividends].
Pepsi has also expanded its beverage lineup, which includes Mountain Dew, Gatorade, Tropicana, 7up, Lipton (through a joint venture with Unilever), Naked Juice, Aquafina, and select bottled Starbucks products.
Coca-Cola Co.
The Coca-Cola Company (KO ) is also known for its iconic lineup of soda – Coca-Cola and Diet Coke. Over the years, the company has expanded into other beverage lines, featuring brands like Sprite, Fanta, Dasani, Fresca, TaB, Powerade, and VitaminWater.
Coca-Cola also offers a line of healthier drink options including Simply Orange, Minute Maid, Odwalla, Fuze, Honest Tea and Zico.
Anheuser-Busch InBev
Anheuser-Busch In Bev (  ) is one of the largest brewers in the world with a lineup of more than 200 beer brands. The company’s three global brands are Budweiser, Corona, and Stella Artois. Its international brands include Becks, Leffe, and Hoegaarden [see also The Unofficial Dividend.com Guide To Being An Investor].
ABInBev also has an impressive lineup of local brews, including Brahma, Chernigivske, Jupiler, Skol, Labatt, and St. Pauli Girl.
Procter &amp; Gamble
Procter &amp; Gamble (PG ) is by far one of the largest and most established consumer products companies. P&amp;G is best known for its lineup of household cleaning products, including: Charmin, Bounce, Tide, Febreze, Cascade, Downy, Mr. Clean, and Bounty.
The company also sells some well-known beauty and healthcare products including Pantene haircare, Olay, CoverGirl, Old Spice, Gillette, Crest, and Oral-B.
According to P&amp;G, 25 of its brands generate more than $1 billion in annual sales; of its vast product lineup, 50 brands represent more than 90% of the company’s sales and profits.
Kraft
Kraft Foods Group ( ) is one of the largest food and beverage companies in North America. For its beverage lineup, Kraft brands include Maxwell House, MiO, Crystal Light, Tassimo, CapriSun, Kool-Aid, Gevalia, and Country Time.
Kraft also owns the brands A.1., Athenos, Breakstones, Cheez Whiz, Claussen, Cracker Barrel, Jell-o, Lunchables, Miracle Whip, Oscar Mayer, Philadelphia, Planters, Polly O, and Velveeta.
The J.M. Smucker Company
The J.M. Smucker Company (  ) is best known for its iconic fruit spreads. Today, however, the company makes a lot more than fruit jam. A closer look at the company’s filing shows that the company’s biggest operating segment is actually its retail coffee. The company’s coffee brands include the iconic Folgers, Cafe Bustelo, Dunkin’ Donuts’ retail packaged coffee, kava, Medaglia Doro, Milstone, and Pilon [see also The Unofficial History of Warren Buffett].
The company also owns the popular brands Jif, Pilsbury, Eagle Brand, Crisco, Hungry Jack, Magnolia, Martha White, and truRoots.
Darden Restaurants
While Darden Restaurants’ (  ) portfolio may not be as impressive as some of the other companies on this list, the firm does own some of the largest casual dining restaurants in the U.S. and Canada.
Darden’s family of restaurants include Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Bahama Breeze, Seasons 52, The Capital Grille, Eddie V’s and Yard House. Through the company’s subsidiaries, Darden owns and operates more than 2,1000 restaurants, which serve more than 425 million meals a year.
Comcast Corporation
After several high-profile mergers and acquisitions, Comcast Corporation (  ) is now one of the largest media companies in the world. The company is split up into two major businesses: Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal. The Cable segment provides personal and business solutions for TV, internet, and communications.
NBCUniversal is even more impressive, since its presense in the U.S. media industry is a substantial one. The company owns several cable networks including Bravo, Chiller, E!, , Sports, Oxygen, Syfy, and the Weather Channel. also owns Fandango, Hulu, iVillage. On the filmed entertainment side, the company owns Universal Pictures and Focus Features. Last, but not lease, the portfolio also includes Universal Parks &amp; Resorts and Universal Studios Hollywood.
Investing in Single Product Companies
One of the fundamental pillars of a successful investment strategy over the long haul is diversification. Seasoned professionals always preach about the importance of maintaining a well-balanced portfolio of securities, and for good reason too: spreading out your exposure across sectors, market caps, and even geographies is a surefire way to mitigate some of your risk while still having “skin in the game.”
It may seem a bit counterintuitive, but there is actually good reason to consider investing in companies that are not very diversified. That is to say, finding companies that derive the majority of their revenues from one kind of product or a particular service [see also Best Global Brands That Pay Dividends].
The appeal behind investing in these so-called “one trick ponies” is actually very straightforward; because these firms are focused on just one product, investors can more accurately pinpoint the underlying price drivers and thereby have a clearer sense of where the stock might be headed.
Think about this: it’s much harder to isolate, understand, and gauge the potential headwinds and catalysts for a company with a vast product lineup compared to a firm that predominantly focuses on a single line of business. Likewise, these single-product companies also bear more risk; the simplicity of their business models is also their greatest source of risk, seeing as how one negative development in their particular sector can have a devastating effect on the entire company.
Below we take a look under the hood of five dividend-paying, single-product companies:
 WD-40 Co. (  ) 
Anyone who has ever had to get their hands dirty in the garage or their local hardware store has likely come across WD-40, the iconic lubricant. Originally named the “Rocket Chemical Company,” today the firm boasts a global reach and its product lineup spans beyond the famous “Water Displacement on the 40th try” formula, or WD-40 for short. Nonetheless, the company remains focused on selling lubricants; according to the latest annual report, WD-40 had two product lines, multi-purpose maintenance products and homecare &amp; cleaning products, of which the former accounted for over 80% of total sales.
 Clorox Co. (  ) 
If you don’t know the Clorox brand then you need to help out more with cleaning chores around the house. This 100-year old consumer goods company is known for a variety of household brands in addition to the famous Clorox bleach, including: Pine-Sol cleaner, Fresh Step cat litter, Glad trash bags, Hidden Valley salad dressings, Brita water filters, and Kingsford charcoal among many others. According to the latest annual filing, revenues from the liquid bleach product alone accounted for approximately 14% of total sales.
 Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. (  ) 
This company has been selling lawn seed since 1868 and today it has grown into a behemoth, boasting easily one of the most recognizable brands in the lawn and garden market. In addition to selling Miracle-Gro brand fertilizer, Scotts boasts a handful of other recognizable brands, including: Roundup weed control, Tomcat rodent control, Ortho pest control, and Earthgro mulch. According to the latest annual filing, the company has two operating segments, Global Consumer and Scotts LawnService; the former of these segments includes the well-known lawn and garden product lineup and accounted for nearly 90% of total sales [see also 25 Financial Advisor Blogs Actually Worth Reading].
 Tootsie Roll (TR ) 
This Chicago-based candy maker has been around since 1896 and its flagship product then, the Tootsie Roll, remains one of the most iconic sweets on the market today. The company boasts a variety of other recognizable products from the candy aisle in addition to the Tootsie Roll, including: Frooties, Dots, Charms Blow Pops, as well as Junior Mints. In its most recent annual filing, the company notes that “sales normally maintain a consistent level throughout the year except for a substantial increase in the third quarter which reflects pre-Halloween and back-to-school sales,” and while this is by no means surprising, it does emphasize the fact that single-product companies are for the most part impacted by fewer factors compared to companies that operate in several different industries.
 Nutrisystem Inc. ( ) 
Founded originally in 1972, Nutrisystem has evolved from selling weight loss counseling and products in brick and mortar locations to a direct-to-consumer model. Today, the company sells its products online, on TV, over the phone, and even in big-box retailers; its offerings include a combination of ready-to-go food, fresh-frozen menu items, as well as its well-known weight management program. According to the latest annual filing, revenue consists primarily of food sales and “is strongest in the first calendar quarter and lowest in the fourth calendar quarter,” which goes to showcase the seasonal nature of many single-product companies [learn about Dividend Dates here].
Companies That Don’t Do What You Think They Do
The old adage “don’t judge a book by its cover” holds quite a bit of weight on Wall Street as any seasoned market veteran will warn you of reaching conclusions about investment opportunities without even having opened the book so to say. Plain and simple, one of the fundamental pillars of having a a successful investment track record over the long-haul is being diligent.
Doing some good ole fashioned research and digging through filings can help you get an edge by avoiding one of the pitfalls that many younger investors fall into; that is, being overconfident and pulling the trigger too early on a company they didn’t really investigate [see Free Lunch on Wall Street: 21 Ways Investors Can Make (and Keep) More Money].
As with many things in life, looks can be deceiving, and stocks are no different. Below we highlight five well-known dividend payers that are associated with iconic products, but in reality, they actually derive a bulk of their revenues from other lines of business. Here are some of the most popular companies that do not do what you may think they do:
  Corp. (  ) 
Commonly referred to as “Big Blue,” went on to introduce a number of inventions throughout the 20th century that revolutionized our everyday lives, and one of the most memorable ones was the 5150; this was among the first “personal computers,” and it quickly became the industry standard, earning the reputation as a “PC company.” According to the most recent annual filing, however, it’s apparent that is no longer the so-called “computer company” despite many investors’ first thoughts when they stumble across the stock [see IBM’s Best Day Ever].
In 2013, global technology services, which includes providing IT infrastructure and business process services, accounted for 38% of total revenues; even the second biggest operating segment isn’t related to computer hardware, it’s consulting and application management services, and accounts for 18% of total revenues.
 General Electric (GE ) 
This company has been around for well over 100 years and, given its ties with the great inventor Thomas Edison, it’s no wonder that many still think of it as an electric company of some sort. This couldn’t be further from the truth today, as GE has evolved into a diversified behemoth that has a lot more to do with financing than it does with electricity. According to its 2013 annual filing, the company’s biggest operating segment, GE Capital, which provides financial services globally, accounted for 30% of total revenues. Some may be surprised to learn just how diversified the company is, boasting a presence in everything from the energy and aviation markets to healthcare and transportation, among others.
 Xerox (  ) 
Xerox was founded in 1906 and soon thereafter it earned the reputation as “the copy machine company” after debuting the Xerox 914; this was the first plain paper photocopier and its instant success re-ignited momentum for the company, which had struggled with a slow and costly research and development process in the years prior. Fast forward to today, and not surprisingly Xerox doesn’t really make its money from selling photocopy machines anymore. According to its 2013 annual filing, the company’s biggest revenue source was its services segment, accounting for 55% of total revenues; this includes administrative, management, and technology services for major industries and government agencies around the globe.
 The J.M. Smucker Company (  ) 
The company behind the iconic American fruit spreads has been in business since 1897 and the “Smucker’s” brand remains one of the most recognizable food brands. Today, the company makes a lot more than fruit jam, however, which might be surprising for many investors who are quick to connect it with only its most iconic product. According to its most recent annual filing, the company’s biggest operating segment was retail coffee, which accounted for 39% of total revenues. Although many associate Smucker’s with fruit jams and brand peanut butter, the company is also behind the Folgers brand, which has become a staple in kitchens across America.

The Bottom Line
While diversification can be beneficial to any business strategy, it is important for investors to realize just how strong some of these mega corporation’s grasp is on their respective industries.

<div><div><main><article><div><p>Market Cap Definition: Market cap (i.e. market capitalization) is the total market value of the company’s outstanding shares. To calculate a company’s market cap, you simply take the current stock price and multiply it by the total number of shares outstanding. For example, if Apple (<a href="https://www.dogsofthedow.com/stock/aapl.htm">AAPL</a>) had 4.4 billion shares outstanding and its stock price was $318.18 per share, Apple’s market cap would be $1.4 trillion (4,400,000,000 times $318.18). Market cap is often used by investors to obtain a quick estimate of a company’s overall value. Investors will often use market capitalization as one factor in determining a prospective stock purchase. For example, an institutional investor may want to limit their stock purchases to companies with a market capitalization greater than $5 billion in order to ensure sufficient liquidity. Stocks are often categorized by market cap: <a href="https://www.dogsofthedow.com/highest-dividend-paying-mega-cap-stocks.htm">mega-cap</a> ($100 billion plus), <a href="https://www.dogsofthedow.com/highest-dividend-paying-large-cap-stocks.htm">large-cap</a> ($10 billion-$100 billion), mid-cap ($2 billion-$10 billion), small-cap ($300 million-$2 billion), and micro-cap (less than $300 million).

 50 Largest Companies by Market Cap Today (TOP 50 LIST)

 Market Cap Definition: Market cap (i.e. market capitalization) is the total market value of the company’s outstanding shares. To calculate a company’s market cap, you simply take the current stock price and multiply it by the total number of shares outstanding. For example, if Apple (AAPL) had 4.4 billion shares outstanding and its stock price was $318.18 per share, Apple’s market cap would be $1.4 trillion (4,400,000,000 times $318.18). Market cap is often used by investors to obtain a quick estimate of a company’s overall value. Investors will often use market capitalization as one factor in determining a prospective stock purchase. For example, an institutional investor may want to limit their stock purchases to companies with a market capitalization greater than $5 billion in order to ensure sufficient liquidity. Stocks are often categorized by market cap: mega-cap ($100 billion plus), large-cap ($10 billion-$100 billion), mid-cap ($2 billion-$10 billion), small-cap ($300 million-$2 billion), and micro-cap (less than $300 million). FYI — Many of the largest companies listed below make it on our exclusive list of Highest Dividend Paying Mega-Cap Stocks.

Market Cap Definition: Market cap (i.e. market capitalization) is the total market value of the company’s outstanding shares. To calculate a company’s market cap, you simply take the current stock price and multiply it by the total number of shares outstanding. For example, if Apple (AAPL) had 4.4 billion shares outstanding and its stock price was $318.18 per share, Apple’s market cap would be $1.4 trillion (4,400,000,000 times $318.18). Market cap is often used by investors to obtain a quick estimate of a company’s overall value. Investors will often use market capitalization as one factor in determining a prospective stock purchase. For example, an institutional investor may want to limit their stock purchases to companies with a market capitalization greater than $5 billion in order to ensure sufficient liquidity. Stocks are often categorized by market cap: mega-cap ($100 billion plus), large-cap ($10 billion-$100 billion), mid-cap ($2 billion-$10 billion), small-cap ($300 million-$2 billion), and micro-cap (less than $300 million). FYI — Many of the largest companies listed below make it on our exclusive list of Highest Dividend Paying Mega-Cap Stocks.
