Between March 2020 and August 2024, four of the biggest one-day losses on the Nasdaq Composite Index occurred in the first half of 2020. The worst day was March 16, 2020, when the index fell by ***** percent. The ** worst days in terms of losses were spread across 2020 and 2022. This index includes the Big Five tech giants - Apple, Amazon, Alphabet (Google), Meta, and Microsoft - as well as many other technology-focused companies.

The value of the DJIA index amounted to ****** at the end of June 2025, up from ********* at the end of March 2020. Global panic about the coronavirus epidemic caused the drop in March 2020, which was the worst drop since the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. Dow Jones Industrial Average index – additional information The Dow Jones Industrial Average index is a price-weighted average of 30 of the largest American publicly traded companies on New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ, and includes companies like Goldman Sachs, IBM and Walt Disney. This index is considered to be a barometer of the state of the American economy. DJIA index was created in 1986 by Charles Dow. Along with the NASDAQ 100 and S&P 500 indices, it is amongst the most well-known and used stock indexes in the world. The year that the 2018 financial crisis unfolded was one of the worst years of the Dow. It was also in 2008 that some of the largest ever recorded losses of the Dow Jones Index based on single-day points were registered. On September 29, 2008, for instance, the Dow had a loss of ****** points, one of the largest single-day losses of all times. The best years in the history of the index still are 1915, when the index value increased by ***** percent in one year, and 1933, year when the index registered a growth of ***** percent.

While the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused all major stock market indices to fall sharply in March 2020, both the extent of the decline at this time, and the shape of the subsequent recovery, have varied greatly. For example, on March 15, 2020, major European markets and traditional stocks in the United States had shed around ** percent of their value compared to January *, 2020. However, Asian markets and the NASDAQ Composite Index only shed around ** to ** percent of their value. A similar story can be seen with the post-coronavirus recovery. As of November 14, 2021 the NASDAQ composite index value was around ** percent higher than in January 2020, while most other markets were only between ** and ** percent higher. Why did the NASDAQ recover the quickest? Based in New York City, the NASDAQ is famously considered a proxy for the technology industry as many of the world’s largest technology industries choose to list there. And it just so happens that technology was the sector to perform the best during the coronavirus pandemic. Accordingly, many of the largest companies who benefitted the most from the pandemic such as Amazon, PayPal and Netflix, are listed on the NADSAQ, helping it to recover the fastest of the major stock exchanges worldwide. Which markets suffered the most? The energy sector was the worst hit by the global COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, oil companies share prices suffered large declines over 2020 as demand for oil plummeted while workers found themselves no longer needing to commute, and the tourism industry ground to a halt. In addition, overall share prices in two major stock exchanges – the London Stock Exchange (as represented by the FTSE 100 index) and Hong Kong (as represented by the Hang Seng index) – have notably recovered slower than other major exchanges. However, in both these, the underlying issue behind the slower recovery likely has more to do with political events unrelated to the coronavirus than it does with the pandemic – namely Brexit and general political unrest, respectively.

On July 24, 2024, Lineage Inc. raised 5.1 billion U.S. dollars on its public debut on the Nasdaq Stock Market, making it the largest initial public offering (IPO) of the year in the United States. Six of the ten largest IPOs in the U.S. that year each raised over one billion U.S. dollars in capital. Why do companies go public? Private companies have limited access to capital and mainly use traditional sources to finance their expenditures. While such firms have more freedom to operate without reporting to investors, this also blocks the companies from raising access directly from the public. The value raised by IPOs can be significant. In hopes of gaining access to this capital, the number of IPOs in the United States generally exceeds 100 firms each year. Risks of an IPO IPO is a long and costly process. It necessitates cooperation with investment advisory firms to ensure that all requirements are met and that the process is optimally planned. A public company is subject to governmental and public scrutiny – any negative information, such as rumors about insider trading, can result in falling stock prices. Also, the time when going public is crucial. Even a prospering company can have a very low return in times of recession.

****** ist das, gemessen an der Marktkapitalisierung, derzeit wertvollste Unternehmen der Welt. Die Marktkapitalisierung des US-amerikanischen *************** betrug am 24. November 2025 rund **** Billionen US-Dollar. NVIDIA ist das erste börsennotierte Unternehmen, das die Marke von vier Billionen US-Dollar überschritten hat. Seit Mitte November hat auch das US-amerikanische Tech-Unternehmen Apple diese Marke erreicht; der Wert des Unternehmens mit Sitz in Cupertino im kalifornischen Silicon Valley lag am 24. November bei ca. **** Billionen US-Dollar. Auf dem dritten Platz folgt ******** mit einer Marktkapitalisierung von etwa **** Billionen US-Dollar. Microsoft, das von Bill Gates gegründete und auf die Entwicklung von Hard- und Software sowie von Cloud-Diensten spezialisierte Unternehmen kam auf eine Marktkapitalisierung von etwa **** Billionen US-Dollar und befindet sich damit auf Platz 4. Andere Tech-Giganten sind ebenfalls weit oben im Ranking der weltweit 100 wertvollsten Unternehmen gemessen an ihrer Marktkapitalisierung zu finden: ****** mit ca. **** Billionen US-Dollar auf Platz 5 und Meta mit **** Billionen US-Dollar auf Platz 8. SAP ist eines von zwei deutschen Unternehmen, das auf den ersten 100 Plätzen des Rankings zu finden ist. Der Softwarehersteller befindet sich mit einer Marktkapitalisierung von aktuell ca. *** Milliarden US-Dollar auf Platz **. Das andere deutsche Unternehmen ist ******* auf Platz **. Siehe dazu auch das Ranking der deutschen Unternehmen mit der größten Marktkapitalisierung. Zuletzt haben sich die Börsenwerte der großen Tech-Unternehmen in den USA wieder erholt. In den Monaten davor haben insbesondere diese großen Tech-Konzerne erheblich an Börsenwert verloren. Dies ist vor allem auf die Zollpolitik von US-Präsident Donald Trump zurückzuführen; nach den Ankündigungen von neuen Zusatzzöllen für etliche Handelspartner weltweit herrschte Chaos an den internationalen Börsen. Zeitweise befanden sich die Börsen weltweit, und insbesondere auch der Technologieindex Nasdaq 100, auf Talfahrt. Einige der großen Tech-Unternehmen der USA hatten zeitweise Verluste von mehreren Hundert Milliarden US-Dollar hinzunehmen, der Wert von Apple sank innerhalb weniger Wochen sogar mehr als eine Billion US-Dollar. Die Zollpolitik Trumps und die daraus folgenden Handelskonflikte und Gegenzölle verunsichern die Anleger und schüren Angst vor einer drohenden Rezession in den USA. Die vor der unsicheren Wirtschaftspolitik Trumps rasante Wertentwicklung vieler Tech-Unternehmen ist vor allem durch die Entwicklungen rund um das Megathema künstliche Intelligenz ausgelöst worden. Nvidia fertigt unter anderem Spezialchips, die für die Entwicklung von künstlicher Intelligenz wichtig sind und ohne die rechenintensive KI-Anwendungen wie ChatGPT nicht möglich wären.
