“科技企业相对短寿，寿命长的公司又难以辨识”，“股神”沃伦·巴菲特对于不投科技股的解释言犹在耳，但不可否认，这些科技巨头公司收获了庞大的市场价值。

#Seven wonders: tech stocks#

Quietly and inexorably the “seven sisters” of the global technology industry are acquiring monster market values.

Apple Alphabet Microsoft Amazon and Facebook are the five most valuable firms in the world and Tencent and Alibaba their peers in China aren’t far behind. In total the seven companies are now worth an incredible $3.6tn 40% more than a year ago and more than the combined value of all firms with a primary listing in Britain the world’s fourth-largest base for public companies according to Bloomberg.

Bulls argue that the tech platforms’ huge increase in value reflects their rising profits. But their share prices have moved up faster than their earnings. As a result together they trade on a price-earnings multiple of 34 times up from 26 times a year ago. That is not quite bubble territory but it is getting close.
