I guess so. Seems like the companies you listed all deal with 'basic human survival' - in 1st world countries, things people need in order to achieve an above average financial state. So not google, facebook, uber, etc. because you can do really well without them. And the ones you mentioned, GE, AT&T, CN, JetBlue, Mondelez International (Kraft), are much closer to to providing actual necessities - you can't do a ton without household machinery (e.g. food prep equipment), or cheap food; cheap long-distance transportation can be crucial to success, as would be phones.
