Its been a few years since I looked at the largest firms listed on the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE). So here are the top 25 companies on the NYSE based on Market Capitalization. All these firms have market caps of $50.0 billion or more.

A few observations:

• Despite the fall in oil prices U.S. oil major Exxon Mobil(XOM) dominates the ranking with a market cap of over $362 billion.
• With the economic recovery in the U.S. and European, banks have been re-rated and have gained some of their lost market caps. As a result some of the world’s top banks appear in the list.
• China’s own Amazon-like internet retailer Alibaba(BABA) is valued at an astonishing $204 billion.
