The next $4 trillion market cap U.S. stock: Meta?

According to a recent analysis by BestBrokers, Meta Platforms (META.US) is expected to become the next company to reach a valuation of $4 trillion, following Nvidia (NVDA.US) and Microsoft (MSFT.US), which have already achieved this historic milestone. Paul Hoffman, an analyst at the investment research platform BestBrokers, predicts that this social media and metaverse giant (currently valued at approximately $1.88 trillion) will surpass the $4 trillion mark by February 2027.

Hoffman stated, "Meta's proactive layout in AI-driven tools and immersive metaverse experiences has reignited investor enthusiasm in 2025."

Meta's strong recovery comes after years of strategic adjustments, with its robust advertising business continuing to play a significant financial driving role despite regulatory challenges.

In this valuation race, semiconductor giant Broadcom (AVGO.US) is closely following. BestBrokers' analysis indicates that the company's market capitalization could reach $4 trillion by May 2027.

Hoffman noted, "Broadcom plays a crucial role in advancing AI chips and data center technology, which is driving the company to achieve rapid growth." He also pointed out that the company's journey from obscurity to becoming a tech giant has caught Wall Street's attention.

Other tech giants are also set to join this elite club with a $4 trillion market value, although it will take them a bit longer. Amazon (AMZN.US) currently has a market capitalization of approximately $2.29 trillion, while Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM.US) is valued at around $1.22 trillion, with both companies expected to reach this milestone by 2028.

Meanwhile, the growth trajectories of Google's parent company Alphabet (GOOGL.US) and Apple (AAPL.US) will be more gradual due to changing market dynamics and increased competition. Analysts predict that their market capitalizations will reach $4 trillion in August 2029 and January 2031, respectively.

The competition to join the "trillion-dollar club" is also fierce, with three large companies expected to reach this milestone within the next year. JP Morgan (JPM.US) has a market capitalization of approximately $795 billion, while Walmart (WMT.US) is valued at around $785 billion, with both companies fiercely competing against each other. Over the past three years, they have achieved growth rates of 33% and nearly 30%, respectively, through digital transformation.

The research report states that Oracle (ORCL.US) is also rapidly climbing, with its market capitalization increasing by 53% over three years and expected to surpass the $1 trillion mark within a year.

Hoffman concluded that disruptive companies in the tech sector, Netflix (NFLX.US) and Palantir (PLTR.US), have emerged as dark horse contenders in the valuation competition During the period from 2024 to 2025, their market values grew by 84.78% and 81.69%, respectively.

In the case of Palantir (PLTR), according to BestBrokers, the company's growth trend over the past three years indicates that it would take approximately three and a half years to reach a market value of $1 trillion, but its latest annual growth rate has significantly shortened this expectation to just one year and seven months.

Hoffman stated, "As we approach 2025, the race to reach a market value of $4 trillion is not just about the numbers themselves; it reflects how innovation, strategy, and investor sentiment come together to reshape the global economic landscape. Meta and Broadcom are changing expectations, and the entire industry is closely watching to see who will be the first to achieve the next milestone."
