Profit Powerhouses: The Top U.S. Companies by Net Income
Key Takeaways
- Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has the largest net income of $100 billion.
- Technology and financial companies dominate the list.
Collectively, the 10 most profitable U.S. companies have a total net income of $684 billion—more than the entire GDP of Belgium.
In this Markets in a Minute graphic, created in partnership with Terzo, we highlight companies with the biggest profits.
Ranking the Most Profitable Companies
Net income, which measures how much money a company has left after paying its expenses, is an important indicator of company strength.
Alphabet had the highest net income of $100 billion. From 2023 to 2024, the company’s revenue rose twice as fast as its costs.
| Rank | Company | Net Income |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alphabet | $100B |
| 2 | Apple | $94B |
| 3 | Berkshire Hathaway | $89B |
| 4 | Microsoft | $88B |
| 5 | NVIDIA | $73B |
| 6 | Meta | $62B |
| 7 | Amazon | $59B |
| 8 | JP Morgan Chase | $58B |
| 9 | Exxon Mobil | $34B |
| 10 | Bank of America | $27B |

Apple ranks as the company with the second-highest profit. In dollar terms, most of its profit comes from products like iPhones and Macs. However, services like advertising and AppleCare are nearly twice as profitable, with a 74% gross margin versus 37% for products.
Following closely behind, Berkshire Hathaway comes in third in the ranking. Helmed by Warren Buffett, the company earned most of its profit from its GEICO-led insurance business. BNSF, one of the largest railroads in North America, also contributed significantly to earnings.
Trends in Net Income Leaders
Which types of companies generate the most profit? Technology is most common in the top 10 list. Six companies are either officially categorized under the technology sector (Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia) or have a strong technology focus (Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon).
Financial companies are also dominant, with Berkshire Hathaway, JP Morgan Chase, and Bank of America making the ranking.
Meanwhile, Exxon Mobil is the only energy company on the list.
