> what does it mean to be a US company?

Easy enough question to answer by looking at the beneficial owners of a company's stock. I'd wager every "US company" as commonly understood is, in addition to being listed on US stock exchanges, headquartered in the US, and having significant operations in the US, is also majority-owned by American citizens.

Interesting distinction. I'm not sure it's possible to confirm this, but I would be interested in the different firms that were listed.

Specifically, I don't know about AirBus and LVMH, but InBev seems to be primarily owned by American based mutual funds.
