Before we get started, this graphic:
Now, back to the interesting list of ten.
We've talked about gas turbines before. See backstory.
The top ten:
- Palantir: data mining, everywhere, especially in the US government, and more specifically, the military; the gold standard
- GE Vernova: about the only natural-gas turbine manufactured in the US; competes with Siemens, Europe;
- Newmont: gold mining
- Seagate: data storage; US but "HQ" in Dublin, Ireland; second to none?
- Western Digital: data storage, San Jose, CA; one of the world's largest hard drive manufacturers in the world;
- NRG Energy: energy generation; "HQ" in Houston, Texas
- EBay:
- GE Aerospace:
- Idexx: animal veterinary research
I think I've heard CNBC mention only one of those on a regular basis: Palantir.
Occasionally: GE Vernova.
Maybe GE Aerospace but none of the rest are "ever" mentioned.
Amphenol: electrical and fiber optic connectors; coaxial cables.
