MW Tesla's market cap tops $158 billion, closing in on double that of GM and Ford combined
With Tesla Inc.'s stock $(TSLA)$ surging 13%, the electric car maker's market capitalization has climbed to about $158.2 billion, which isn't far from doubling the combined market caps of rivals General Motors Co. $(GM)$ of $49.2 billion and Ford Motor Co. $(F)$ of $36.2 billion. Throw in Fiat Chyrsler Automobiles N.V.'s (FCA.MI) market cap of $26.3 billion, and all three automakers can fit inside Tesla, with room to spare. However, Tesla is still well short of Toyota Motor Corp.'s (7203.TO) market cap, which is currently at $233.5 billion. Tesla is not in the S&P 500 , but it would be the 38th largest in the index. Tesla currently sits just below FAANG member Netflix Inc. $(NFLX)$ and Dow Jones Industrial Average member Nike Inc. $(NKE)$, which are both at $159.4 billion.
