r/DataIsBeautiful Exploration - Market Cap per Employee

    This is interesting because most of the top big tech companies have hundreds of thousands of employees at higher end of 20M market cap per employee, but Nvidia is an outlier with only around 30k employees making it a 100M market cap per employee one thing is interesting is that this means tech companies have the highest margins. What's also interesting is how Nvidia supplies these companies meaning they could directly control margins from other tech companies even to a point where it seems like they could be a monopoly or overvalued. This is important to me because it shows the importance of margins. High margins for a company's success are very important to be successful but to be able to quickly get ahead of other older companies that have been controlling the market. The source data is from Factset and company filings. The graph shows just how big of an outlier Nvidia is compared to the biggest tech companies such as Apple and Microsoft. Some things I would do to this graph is show each company's revenue because it would show better how the number of employees is affecting their revenue each year and how that would correlate to market cap.
