ABOUT THE DATA
The race connects 21 selected published ranking snapshots, containing 315 reported company observations. The moving values between those snapshots are animation estimates; they are not daily prices or complete annual records. Year markers and chapters follow the animated calendar. Historical rankings use the Financial Times Global 500 and PwC Global Top 100/Bloomberg reports. The latest ranking uses CompaniesMarketCap, captured on October 4, 2026, with the October 2 market snapshot and each market's latest available close.

Selected figures were compared with issuer reports, Stock Analysis and Finhacker. Provider methods and share-class pricing can differ. In particular, the latest TSMC/SpaceX ordering and the fifteenth-place cutoff are not identical across providers. This video consistently preserves the chosen report's ranking at each source snapshot.
