The biggest stocks in the world by market cap will undoubtedly look a bit different in 14 years.","content":"<p>If there's one constant on Wall Street, it's that nothing remains constant for long. The combination of technological innovation, competitive advantages, acquisitions, and other tangible and intangible factors has a tendency to shake-up the world's largest companies on a regular basis.</p><p>For example, in 2004, <b>General Electric</b>, <b>ExxonMobil</b>, <b>Pfizer</b>, <b>Citigroup</b>, <b>Walmart</b>, <b>BP</b>, <b>AIG</b>, <b>Intel</b>, and <b>Bank of America</b> were nine of the 10 largest publicly traded companies by market cap. None are still in the top 10 just 17 years later. In fact, AIG isn't even in the top 250 anymore.</p><p>What might the top 10 look like in 2035? Frankly, we don't know.

Amazon currently controls more than 40% of all online sales in the U.S., and it's signed up 200 million people to Prime worldwide. The fees it collects from Prime memberships help to ensure it can undercut brick-and-mortar retailers on price.</p><p>As for AWS, it grew sales by 30% in 2020 (i.e., during the worst economic downturn in decades). AWS has a current run-rate of $54 billion in annual sales, meaning it alone could fetch a valuation north of $600 billion and still be valued cheaply within the cloud space. Because AWS generates considerably higher margins than retail, it's Amazon's key to a cash flow explosion in the years to come.<img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F628448%2Fcloud-computing-data-server-storage-email-blockchain-saas-getty.jpg&w=700&op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><h2>Microsoft</h2><p>Despite a myriad of change since 1999, tech stock <b>Microsoft</b> (NASDAQ:MSFT) is the only company to remain in the top 10 by market cap in 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014, 2019, and currently.
