The above list excludes firms from Eastern Europe and Russia and the market cap is based on the stock price on the domestic exchanges. Among the many European banking giants, only HSBC (HBC) of UK made it to this list with market cap of about $194 billion. In the pharmaceutical sector, it is interesting to note that Swiss drug companies Novartis (NVS) and Roche (RHHBY) have market caps exceeding $125 billion. Nestle (NSRGY) owns many popular brands and has a strong presence in emerging countries.
Does anyone know the current top 50 European Companies by Market Cap?
