Companies traded on the stock exchange in everyday professional life
Since I am @Simpson nominated, I now grant an insight into listed companies in my daily professional life.
Briefly about me: I am a mathematician and work in the semiconductor industry in a listed company.
Starting with the software: pretty much all computers in the office run Windows and Office from $MSFT (+0,14%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+0,11%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+0,23%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (-0,02%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-0,41%) with $DTE (+0,68%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+0,19%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+1,7%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (+2,91%), $CAJ and $7731 (+5,62%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (-0,51%) and $4091 (+0,58%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (+4,01%) and $BAS (+1,35%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (+0,68%) , $BMW (+0,46%) , $MBG (+1,06%) and $TM (-0,88%). But also $V (-0,3%), $AAPL (-0,41%) and $SMSD (-0,6%) are customers.
I have certainly forgotten a lot, but as an insight it should be enough I think.
I nominate @DonkeyInvestor , @GoDividend and @Divmann (sorry if someone has already been nominated, I don't have an overview anymore).
