What about IBM? Founded in 1911, $13B profit in 2018. Most successful company in several online business sectors.
What about Nokia? Founded originally in 1865 as a paper mill, re-invented itself multiple times in countless different industries, before becoming the leading mobile phone manufacturer in 1990s and 2000s. They did eventually indeed succumb to their failure to evolve, but a more competent management post 2006 would have likely saved the company.
Then there's Nintendo, founded in 1889. They originally started making playing cards, eventually branching to toys and then video games.
Google isn’t helping me here, other than mainframes which sectors does IBM dominate?
