Apple is once again the most valuable brand in the world

Apple made the top 10 list for “2026 Best Perks & Benefits, Large Companies” by Comparably, a ZoomInfo company and employee review platform for workplace culture and compensation.

Apple is once again the world’s most valuable brand. Brand Finance, a brand valuation consultancy, values Apple’s brand at US $574.5 billion, ahead of second-placed Microsoft ($461 billion).

According to Brand Finance’s research, four out of the five most valuable brands in the world are technology brands:

  1. Apple: brand value of $574.5 billion, up 11% from 2024
  2. Microsoft: $461.1 billion, up 35%
  3. Google: $413.0 billion, up 24%
  4. Amazon: $356.4 billion, up 15%
  5. Walmart: $137.2 billion, up 42%
