Four of the most valuable tech companies in the world—Amazon.com Inc.AMZN, +7.31% , Google parent company Alphabet Inc. GOOGL, +2.93%GOOG, -0.08% , Microsoft Corp. MSFT, +4.18% and Intel Corp. INTC, +1.40% — destroyed expectations for profit and revenue in third-quarter reports Thursday afternoon, collectively bringing in about $2.2 billion more profit and $19 billion more revenue than in the same quarter a year ago. Stock in those four companies jumped across the board in late trading, which would make them worth even more than the combined market cap of nearly $2 trillion they enjoyed at the end of Thursday’s trading session.via
