Prediction: Alphabet Just Became the 4th Member of the $3 Trillion Club -- but the First $5 Trillion Stock Will Be an Outlier (No, Not Palantir or Oracle!)

Wall Street is home to a number of exclusive clubs. For instance, a mere 56 publicly traded companies on U.S. exchanges have increased their base annual payout for at least 50 years, which qualifies them as Dividend Kings.
