A recently released analysis from BestBrokers forecasts that Visa, Mastercard, JPMorgan Chase, Oracle, Walmart, and Netflix are among the global giants on track to reach $1 trillion market capitalisations within the next few years, with some potentially reaching the milestone as early as 2026. 

The study, which used data from CompaniesMarketCap.com as of August 4, 2025, looked at the 25 most valuable publicly traded companies and projected their timelines to $1 trillion based on historical growth rates since 2022.

JPMorgan Chase is the closest to $1 trillion, with a market capitalisation of $795.67 billion, and is expected to reach the milestone in May 2026. Its 33.39% growth rate over the last three years reflects strong performance in investment banking, trading, and consumer banking.

Its adoption of digital finance, including $27 trillion in transaction volume through stablecoin technology in 2024, surpasses the combined volumes of Visa and Mastercard. 

CEO Jamie Dimon highlighted the bank’s focus on tokenisation to streamline cross-border transactions and expand real-world asset offerings, positioning JPMorgan as a financial innovator.

Oracle, valued at $686.53 billion, is expected to reach $1 trillion between December 2026 and March 2027, owing to a three-year growth rate of 52.87% and a year-over-year increase of 79.21%.

Its leadership in cloud computing and enterprise solutions, combined with demand for AI-powered technologies, makes it a formidable competitor. Oracle’s ability to capitalise on long-term trends in digital infrastructure has fuelled its rapid growth.

Despite its market capitalisation falling from $827.81 billion to $767 billion between August 11 and August 29, 2025, Walmart is still on track to reach $1 trillion in just over 11 months, with a three-year growth rate of 29.73%. Even as the retail industry’s margins tighten, the retailer’s investments in e-commerce and supply chain optimisation continue to drive competitiveness.

Visa and MasterCard set for $1 trillion market cap 

Visa, with a market capitalisation of $658.7 billion, is expected to reach $1 trillion by October 2028, ranking seventh among the fastest companies to achieve this milestone, according to BestBrokers.

Its three-year average growth rate of 13.97% reflects its position as the world’s largest payment card operator, with over $13 trillion in transactions processed in more than 200 countries by 2024.

Visa’s Q2 2025 results showed a 9% year-over-year revenue increase, fuelled by an 8% increase in payment volume and strong cross-border activity. Despite an ongoing antitrust lawsuit, Visa’s net profit margin has averaged 52% over the last five years, demonstrating its financial strength.

MasterCard, valued at $506 billion, follows closely behind, with a projected $1 trillion valuation by February 2029, putting it ninth in the race. Its three-year growth rate of 14.10% is slightly higher than Visa’s, and its Q2 2025 performance was particularly impressive, with revenue up 16.8% year on year and profit margins approaching 66%.

Its strategic moves in 2025, such as partnerships with Infosys for cross-border payments, Gemini and Ripple for an XRP rewards credit card, and Circle for stablecoin settlements in EMEA, are accelerating its growth.

“Visa’s scale gives it a lead, but Mastercard’s faster growth and innovative partnerships are narrowing the gap,” said BestBrokers analyst Paul Hoffman.

Netflix, with an 81.69% year-over-year increase in 2024/2025, is another serious contender. While its three-year growth rate suggests a $1 trillion valuation in three and a half years, its recent acceleration could reduce this time frame to one year and seven months. 

JPMorgan analysts noted in December 2024 that the streaming giant’s stock has reached record highs due to increased advertising revenue and a robust content pipeline.

Palantir, with an 84.78% year-over-year surge, is emerging as a leader in its right. Its three-year growth trajectory indicates a $1 trillion valuation in three and a half years, but recent momentum suggests a timeline of only one year and seven months. The data analytics firm’s focus on AI and government contracts has accelerated its market cap growth, making it a notable player.

Other companies, such as Eli Lilly, face challenges. Despite a three-year growth rate of 33.42%, its market cap fell from $684.37 billion to $656.17 billion, putting a $1 trillion valuation out of reach if current trends persist. 

Meanwhile, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Meta, which are already in the $1 trillion club, are expected to compete for the $4 trillion mark, following NVIDIA’s $4.2 trillion valuation in July 2025 and Microsoft’s $3.57 trillion.

This $1 trillion valuation race reflects a rapidly changing global market where heavy weights  like JPMorgan and Walmart compete with tech-driven companies like Oracle, Netflix, and Palantir.

Visa and MasterCard, riding the wave of digital payments, remain central to this story. According to BestBrokers’ analysis, the interplay of innovation, scale, and market dynamics will determine which companies join the $1 trillion club and which would smash the $4 trillion record in the coming years.
