As the world hurtles toward an uncertain future, major corporations are prepping to take that future on. The Wall Street Journal has sussed out which S&P 500 firms are best positioned to handle whatever comes our way, ranking them across six main categories: innovation, talent readiness, financial fitness, agility, resilience, and, in a true sign of the times, AI readiness. "If we look back four or five years ago, there was almost nobody talking about using AI," one research scientist notes. Nvidia earns the No. 1 spot on the list, "topping a list heavy on tech stalwarts," per the Journal. The top 10:

  1. Nvidia
  2. Alphabet
  3. Microsoft
  4. Meta
  5. Cisco
  6. Salesforce
  7. Mastercard
  8. Amazon
  9. Adobe
  10. Intuit
