Laurence Newell, Managing Director, Americas, Brand Finance, commented:

“With Trump back in the White House, shifting trade policies, tariffs, and political dynamics are creating uncertainty for American brands. Brand Finance research shows that volatility in this environment can lead to significant brand value losses, not just in the US, but also among close trading partners like Canada and Mexico. As the situation evolves, resilience and adaptability will be key for brands across the region.”

MGM, the fastest-growing US brand, doubled in value (+102%) to USD 3.8 billion, fueled by record-breaking revenues and a strong reputation, particularly in China. The leisure and tourism sector is rebounding, with Norwegian Cruise (+87%) and Carnival Cruise Line (+86%) experiencing strong brand growth as travel demand surpasses pre-pandemic levels.

Alfred DuPuy, Valuation & Strategy Director, Brand Finance, commented:

“MGM’s explosive growth reflects shifting consumer priorities. As demand for entertainment surges, brands delivering strong customer experiences are winning. Norwegian and Carnival’s growth confirms the travel and tourism comeback.”

The AI boom is reshaping the market. NVIDIA’s brand value surged 98% to USD 87.9 billion, entering the top 10 for the first time. A decade ago, it ranked 424th.

Apple remains America’s most valuable brand, up 11% to USD 574.5 billion, followed by Microsoft (+35% to USD461.1 billion) and Google (+24% to USD 413.0 billion).

Californian brands dominate, with 84 brands contributing USD 1.92 trillion in brand value. Washington follows, driven by Microsoft and Amazon, with New York ranking third.
