Apple has topped Fortune's lists of the 'World's Most Admired Companies' for the eighteenth straight year.
To select the top 50, Fortune, in partnership with Korn Ferry, asked 3380 directors and securities analysts to select the 10 companies they admired most. They chose from a list made up of the companies that ranked in the top 25% in last year's surveys, plus those that finished in the top 20% of their industry. Anyone could vote for any company in any industry.
Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon topped the rankings for 2025, just as they did in 2024. Nvidia jumped into the top five, rising to fourth place from tenth. Berkshire Hathaway dropped to fifth place, down from fourth last year.
Leaders in all industries rely more than ever on Big Tech. And as we've learned from the 27th edition of the Fortune World's Most Admired Companies All-Stars list, those leaders really appreciate the giants that deliver goods and services reliably, at scale, and without drama. For a stunning 18th straight year, Apple finished first in our annual ranking of corporate reputation, based on a poll of 3,380 executives, directors, and analysts; for the sixth year in a row, Amazon and Microsoft rounded out the top three. Nvidia, whose GPU chips are fueling the generative AI explosion, rose six spots to No. 4 as its influence continued to grow. Elsewhere, cloud software provider ServiceNow (No. 42), global chip giant Taiwan Semiconductor (No. 45), and weight-loss drug pioneer Novo Nordisk (No. 46) became first-time All-Stars.
