The Nasdaq 100 has 100 companies but 101 stocks, and the top 10 alone carry **46.49%** of the index ([QYLD holdings](https://www.globalxetfs.com/funds/qyld/?ref=bestfirms.org)).

This page lists every Nasdaq 100 company ranked by index weight, with sector, market cap, country and where each one ranks in the [S&P 500 companies list](https://www.bestfirms.org/sp-500-companies-list/).

Weights come from the 10 November 2026 holdings of the Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD), which owns all 101 index securities ([QYLD holdings](https://www.globalxetfs.com/funds/qyld/?ref=bestfirms.org)). The member list and market caps come from Nasdaq itself ([Nasdaq-100 constituents](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/quotes/nasdaq-ndx-index?ref=bestfirms.org)).

📊

Short answer from Best Firms: the Nasdaq 100 companies list has 100 companies and 101 stocks as of 10 November 2026, because Alphabet has two share classes in it. Apple (8.47%), Nvidia (6.78%), Microsoft (6.60%), Amazon (4.87%) and AMD (3.87%) are the five biggest stock weights. Count both Alphabet share classes together and Alphabet moves up to No. 4\. The full ranked table is below.

## What the Nasdaq 100 is (and what it leaves out)

The Nasdaq-100 tracks 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on Nasdaq, using a modified market-cap weighting ([Nasdaq-100 methodology](https://indexes.nasdaqomx.com/docs/Methodology%5FNDX.pdf?ref=bestfirms.org)).

Banks and insurers are out by rule, and so are REITs. That's one reason this list looks so different from the [Dow Jones companies list](https://www.bestfirms.org/dow-jones-companies-list/), where financials are the heaviest sector.

Foreign companies are in. Any company with a primary Nasdaq listing can qualify, and ADRs count ([Nasdaq-100 methodology](https://indexes.nasdaqomx.com/docs/Methodology%5FNDX.pdf?ref=bestfirms.org)). Nasdaq.com lists 10 members outside the US, from the Netherlands to China ([Nasdaq.com screener](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/screener?ref=bestfirms.org)).

Weights are capped. No company can pass 24%, and companies above 4.5% can't add up to more than 48% at a rebalance ([Nasdaq-100 methodology](https://indexes.nasdaqomx.com/docs/Methodology%5FNDX.pdf?ref=bestfirms.org)). Between rebalances, each weight floats with its share price.

## Top 10 Nasdaq 100 companies by index weight

Ten stocks make up 46.49% of the Nasdaq 100\. Six of them are also in the S&P 500's top 10 by weight ([SPY holdings](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/library-content/products/fund-data/etfs/us/holdings-daily-us-en-spy.xlsx?ref=bestfirms.org)).

| 8    | **Meta Platforms**     | META   | Technology             | 3.18%             | $1.64 trillion |

Sources: weights from [QYLD holdings](https://www.globalxetfs.com/funds/qyld/?ref=bestfirms.org), market caps from [Nasdaq's Nasdaq-100 list](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/quotes/nasdaq-ndx-index?ref=bestfirms.org), both 10 November 2026\. Sectors per [Nasdaq.com](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/screener?ref=bestfirms.org).

**AMD** and **Micron Technology** rank No. 5 and No. 6 by weight with market caps of $845.0 billion and $820.4 billion ([Nasdaq-100 list](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/quotes/nasdaq-ndx-index?ref=bestfirms.org)). By weight, both sit ahead of **Tesla** (worth $1.50 trillion) and **Meta Platforms** (worth $1.64 trillion) ([QYLD holdings](https://www.globalxetfs.com/funds/qyld/?ref=bestfirms.org)).

Weight isn't the same as size. The index weights on Modified Market Capitalization: only listed share classes count, ADRs count only the listed ADR shares, and low-float stocks are capped at three times their free float ([Nasdaq-100 methodology](https://indexes.nasdaqomx.com/docs/Methodology%5FNDX.pdf?ref=bestfirms.org)).

So companies with unlisted share classes, such as **Meta Platforms**, or with only ADRs on Nasdaq, such as **ASML**, weigh less than their full market caps suggest.

**Alphabet**'s two share classes add up to 5.43% of the index ([QYLD holdings](https://www.globalxetfs.com/funds/qyld/?ref=bestfirms.org)).

⚠️

Alphabet check: GOOGL (2.81%) and GOOG (2.62%) are listed separately, so Alphabet looks like Nos. 10 and 13\. Added together it's 5.43%, behind only Apple, Nvidia and Microsoft. That second share class is why the index has 101 stocks.

**SpaceX** is the standout. Nasdaq.com lists a 2026 IPO year and a $1.94 trillion market cap, sixth largest in the index ([Nasdaq.com screener](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/screener?ref=bestfirms.org)). The index's Fast Entry rule lets a new listing in early when its market cap ranks within the top 40 members ([Nasdaq-100 methodology](https://indexes.nasdaqomx.com/docs/Methodology%5FNDX.pdf?ref=bestfirms.org)).

**ASML** shows the other side of the weighting. Its $581.2 billion market cap is the 13th largest in the index, but it weighs just 0.65% ([QYLD holdings](https://www.globalxetfs.com/funds/qyld/?ref=bestfirms.org)). For ADRs, the index counts only the depositary shares listed in the US ([Nasdaq-100 methodology](https://indexes.nasdaqomx.com/docs/Methodology%5FNDX.pdf?ref=bestfirms.org)).

## Best Firms' take

💡

Best Firms' take: the Nasdaq 100 companies list is a chip and software bet with a few retailers attached. Ten stocks hold 46.49% of it, and Nasdaq.com's Technology label covers 65.03%. If you own a Nasdaq 100 fund and an S&P 500 fund, you own Apple, Nvidia and Microsoft twice. Use this list to see what you actually hold, and the Dow list to see why the headlines can disagree.
