Berkshire Hathaway (BRK. 24%) is the largest company in the stock market not in the nology sector
As of this writing, the conglomerate led by Warren Buffett had a market cap of $1. 05 trillion -- a tremendous accomplishment for a built on value principles and long-term compounding
There are nine members of the trillion-dollar in the U
Stock market right now (Berkshire is No
But it's safe to say that over the next decade, there will ly be many companies that achieve a 13-figure valuation
For many, doing so wouldn't be too much of a stretch
For example, Walmart and Visa currently have valuations of $776 billion and $675 billion, respectively, so both could get to $1 trillion over the next decade with even modest annualized returns

On the other hand, there are some that I think have an excellent chance of getting there through excellent stock performance
Here are two in particular that would need to der multibagger returns to investors in order to join the trillion-dollar, and that I feel have a strong chance of getting there
A great environment for banking
Bank of America (BAC 0. 78%) has a $353 billion market cap today, and is one of the largest banks in the world
To achieve a $1. 05 trillion market cap Berkshire has, it would require the stock to average an 11% annual gain over the next decade
This is certainly within the realm of possibilities, as I feel the conditions for the banking industry will be generally favorable -- at least for the next few years
Most economists predict that the general direction of interest rates will be lower over the coming years, and this should help boost loan demand and reduce deposit costs
Plus, the Trump administration is not only ly to generally loosen regulations going forward, but also campaigned on a 15% corporate tax rate, which would be a big benefit to Bank of America's bottom line
CEO Brian Moynihan and his team have done an excellent job of embracing modern banking nology and creating a more efficient operation, and the bank's overall efficiency and return on assets (ROA) is ly to trend in the right direction as a result
In short, a combination of excellent leadership and favorable economic and political conditions could certainly lead to a trillion-dollar valuation
One caveat is that Bank of America is one of the larger stock positions in Berkshire's portfolio, so if it performs well, it would also have the effect of raising Berkshire's market value
But even so, if the economic environment cooperates, Bank of America is a well-run institution and could certainly der excellent returns over the next decade
An excellent track record of outperformance Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -0. 07%), better known simply as AMD, has performed quite well over the past few months, rebounding sharply from the April lows
But I think it's just getting started
The chipmaker has a current market cap of $233 billion, so it would need a roughly 16% annual gain over the next decade to reach Berkshire's $1. 05 trillion
And I think it has an excellent shot of getting there
AMD often gets ignored by investors because it is a distant second place to Nvidia when it comes to the high-momentum data center GPU market
But there are a few things to keep in mind
For one thing, the data center accelerator market is a massive and fast-growing one, expected to reach $240 billion in global sales volume by 2030
So, even if AMD can boost its market by just a few percentage points, it would be a big win for the company's top line
It's also important to realize that while data center chips are the fastest-growing part of the right now, there's a lot more that AMD does
For one thing, it has steadily been taking from Intel in the PC and laptop cessor market
It also makes chips for autonomous vehicles, an area expected to grow rapidly over the next decade or so
Ever since CEO Lisa Su took the reins in late 2014, it has been a mistake to bet against AMD
During her tenure, AMD has dered a staggering 4,180% gain for investors ( 40% annualized)
While I don't exactly think that performance level will repeat itself, it wouldn't need to for AMD to reach a trillion-dollar valuation
Will these two companies join the trillion-dollar
To be, I'm predicting both of these companies will have a higher market cap in 10 years than Berkshire Hathaway does today
Assuming Berkshire ders 10% annualized returns over the next decade, which would be historically low for the conglomerate, it would have a market cap of $2. 7 trillion a decade from now, which obviously would be less ly for both of these companies to achieve (but it wouldn't be impossible)
The key point is that both Bank of America and AMD have fantastic leadership and a high bability of an excellent growth environment over the next decade
Of course, there's a lot that would need to go well for either to achieve a trillion-dollar valuation within the next decade, but the risk-reward dynamics of both stocks look excellent right now
