1. Micron (NASDAQ:MU)

Micron (NASDAQ:MU) recorded fiscal 2026 GAAP net income of USD 84.97 billion, compared with USD 8.54 billion in fiscal 2025. It appears in this ranking because the list orders companies by profit after tax over the last twelve months, a measure that favours size and is silent on growth or valuation. In the fiscal fourth quarter the company generated revenue of USD 54.23 billion, GAAP net income of USD 37.70 billion and EPS of USD 32.87, with a gross Margin of 86.8%. Guidance for fiscal first quarter 2027 calls for revenue of USD 61.5 billion, give or take USD 1.5 billion, a gross margin near 85.95% and EPS of USD 37.84, plus or minus USD 1.00. The screen lists a P/E of 11.23, EPS growth of 878.77% and a Dividend Yield of 0.06%. The main hazard is the cyclical nature of memory chips, where profit moves sharply with pricing, so a multiple of 11.23 earned on very rich margins can look cheap near the peak of a cycle.

2. NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA)

NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) is quoted in this ranking at USD 202.06, down 1.26%, with a market capitalisation of USD 4,869.65 billion, trailing net income of USD 120.07 billion and a P/E of 25.54 as of the November 4, 2026 snapshot. The P/E ratio, meaning price divided by earnings per share, shows what buyers are paying for every dollar of NVDA earnings. Data Center revenue hit USD 89.0 billion, a 117% rise, which means about 93% of total revenue came from that unit, a simple calculation from two published numbers. For the coming quarter NVIDIA projects revenue of USD 108.0 billion, within a 2% band either way, with gross margin near 74.0%, on the assumption that no Data Center compute revenue is booked from China. The screen shows trailing EPS of USD 7.91, EPS growth of 125.15% and a dividend yield of 0.25%. The danger is reliance on a single Business line: close to 93% of sales came through Data Center, and the outlook leaves out China compute sales.

3. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL)

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is shown at USD 278.99, down 0.30%, with a market capitalisation of USD 3,401.17 billion, trailing net income of USD 132.17 billion and a P/E of 14.57 as of the November 4, 2026 snapshot. GOOGL appears here because the list sorts companies by trailing profit after tax, which rewards size but says little about growth or valuation. Other income and expense moved to a net expense of USD 8.2 billion, compared with net income of USD 12.8 billion a year before, which accounts for profit falling while Operating Income rose. Google Cloud revenue grew 103% to USD 30.7 billion, and Cloud operating income reached USD 11.1 billion, up from USD 3.6 billion. The screen gives trailing EPS of USD 19.15, EPS growth of 88.96% and a dividend yield of 0.31%. The hazard here is that non-operating swings can distort the headline profit, and the material reviewed does not describe how the shares reacted to the report.

4. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) reported third quarter 2026 net income of USD 20.7 billion versus USD 21.2 billion, even though operating income climbed to USD 28.1 billion. AMZN sits in this list because it ranks on trailing twelve month profit after tax, a scale measure that offers nothing on growth or price. Operating income went from USD 17.4 billion to USD 28.1 billion, producing a 13.9% operating margin, which Amazon describes as its best ever. The earlier quarter included USD 9.5 billion of pre-tax gains tied to Anthropic investments, inflating that base. AWS net sales grew 39% to USD 46.0 billion, and AWS operating income was USD 17.8 billion. Investment gains can move the Bottom Line sharply, as the prior year base demonstrates, so net income on its own can give a misleading picture.

5. Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM)

Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) posted third quarter 2026 earnings of USD 15.4 billion, or USD 3.72 per share, after timing effects took USD 2.5 billion away. Trailing net income sums the most recent four quarters, so single charges or windfalls can raise or lower it, which makes the quarterly breakdown important for XOM. Estimated timing effects trimmed adjusted earnings by USD 2.5 billion, or USD 0.61 per share, whereas identified items contributed USD 449 million. Operating Cash Flow came to USD 25.7 billion and free cash flow to USD 19.1 billion. The Commodity link is the key exposure: timing effects alone shifted earnings by USD 2.5 billion during the quarter, and the screen has the shares down 4.05%.

Where Things Stand

Micron (NASDAQ:MU) tops the field on screen EPS growth at 878.77%, supported by fiscal 2026 net income of USD 84.97 billion versus USD 8.54 billion, followed by NVDA at 125.15%, GOOGL at 88.96%, AMZN at 74.78% and XOM at 41.31%. Rapid growth from a small base does not guarantee durability. The net income list orders companies by profit after tax over the prior twelve months, prizing scale rather than growth or value, and one-off charges, settlements or investment gains can shift net income even when operations are steady, making the quarterly detail more telling than the ranking itself.
