Technology companies have become a dominant driver in recent years of economic growth,
consumer tastes, and the financial markets. The biggest tech stocks as a group, for example, have
dramatically outpaced the broader market in the past decade. That's because technology has
reshaped how people communicate, consume information, shop, socialize, and work.

Broadly speaking, companies in the technology sector engage in the research, development, and
manufacture of technologically based goods and services. They create, design, and manufacture
computers, mobile devices, and home appliances and provide products and services related to
information technology.

Below we look at the 10 biggest companies in the technology field, as measured by trailing 12-
month (TTM) revenue. This list is limited to publicly-traded companies in the U.S. or Canada, either
directly or through ADRs. Data is courtesy of YCharts.com; all figures are current as of Dec. 22, 2022.

Some of the stocks below are only traded over-the-counter (OTC) in the U.S., not on exchanges. As a
result, trading OTC stocks often carries higher trading costs than trading stocks on exchanges. This
can lower or even outweigh potential returns.

Tim Cook, then Chief Operating Officer, during a conference call with investors in 2009:

"We believe that we are on the face of the earth to make great products and that's not changing. We
are constantly focusing on innovating. We believe in the simple not the complex. We believe that we
need to own and control the primary technologies behind the products that we make, and
participate only in markets where we can make a significant contribution. We believe in saying no to
thousands of projects, so that we can really focus on the few that are truly important and
meaningful to us. We believe in deep collaboration and cross-pollination of our groups, which allow
us to innovate in a way that others cannot. And frankly, we don't settle for anything less than
excellence in every group in the company, and we have the self-honesty to admit when we're wrong
and the courage to change. And I think regardless of who is in what job those values are so
embedded in this company that Apple will do extremely well."
