Apple Tops Fortune's List of 'World's Most Admired Companies' for the 16th Year [Chart]

Apple has topped Fortune's lists of the 'World's Most Admired Companies' for the sixteenth straight year.

To select the top 50, Fortune in partnership with Korn Ferry, asked 3,760 executives, 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, Amazon, and Microsoft topped the rankings for 2023 as they did in 2022.


The biggest tech companies may be facing relatively tough times, but the 25th edition of the Fortune World's Most Admired Companies All-Stars list suggests that the giants' peers respect them as much as ever. For the 16th consecutive year, Apple finishes first in our annual ranking of corporate reputation, based on a poll of some 3,700 corporate executives, directors, and analysts. Amazon and Microsoft tied for second. Financial companies earned recognition for navigating an inflation-addled economy: JPMorgan Chase (No. 5) reached its highest rank ever, while Morgan Stanley made its debut in our top 50. Elsewhere, Costco Wholesale (No. 7) rose above its industry's supply-chain woes to notch its best-ever ranking, while Netflix fell from No. 9 to 29 as fierce competition dented its historic dominance in streaming.
