Lightbulb How much is ...

Toyota as a company worth? Can Toyota buy out any other auto non-North American auto manufacturers (eg. VW/Audi) if they wanted to?

A week ago I read that Toyota was worth 200 billion dollars. More than what GM, Ford and Daimler-Chrysler combined are worth. Even Bill Gates would come up way short. IF Toyota wanted, they could easily buy up any auto company in the world.

Ford's market capitalization is about $15 Billions, that's worth about 8 % of Toyota's market capitalization of > $194 Billions. That's the total worth of it's shares.
A company's total worth is very different from it's total revenues, etc.
