The largest automakers in the world by market cap

As highlighted by Oktay Kavrak, CFA, the largest US firm is only number 10. There is also an interesting (still relatively unknown) newcomer: VINFAST, a car brand from Vietnam. The stock is up nearly 700% since going public on the Nasdaq and - at least briefly - became the 3rd biggest automaker in the world and at one point was worth more than Boeing, Disney and Goldman Sachs. What is also notable is that VINFAST is not profitable yet. Moreover, the number of cars is still pretty low: 24,000 in 2022 (vs. millions for the more traditional automakers or Tesla).
