Nasdaq 100 Companies List 2026: All 100 Companies Ranked by Weight, Apple Leads at 8.47%

The Nasdaq 100 has 100 companies but 101 stocks, and the top 10 alone carry 46.49% of the index (QYLD holdings).

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.

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). The member list and market caps come from Nasdaq itself (Nasdaq-100 constituents).

Key Takeaways

  • Apple leads at 8.47%, then Nvidia 6.78% and Microsoft 6.60% (QYLD holdings)
  • The top 10 stocks carry 46.49% of the index; the top 5 carry 30.59% (QYLD holdings)
  • SpaceX is No. 9 at 2.82%, ahead of either Alphabet share class (QYLD holdings)
  • Technology is 65.03% of the index from 45 stocks (Nasdaq.com sectors)
  • 15 members, including ASML and Shopify, aren't in the S&P 500 (SPY holdings)
📊
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).

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, 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). Nasdaq.com lists 10 members outside the US, from the Netherlands to China (Nasdaq.com screener).

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). 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).

9SpaceXSPCXTechnology2.82%$1.94 trillion
10Alphabet (Class A)GOOGLTechnology2.81%$3.53 trillion

Sources: weights from QYLD holdings, market caps from Nasdaq's Nasdaq-100 list, both 10 November 2026. Sectors per Nasdaq.com.

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). By weight, both sit ahead of Tesla (worth $1.50 trillion) and Meta Platforms (worth $1.64 trillion) (QYLD holdings).

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).

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).

⚠️
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.

Here's the complete Nasdaq 100 companies list as of 10 November 2026, from the heaviest stock to the lightest. The last column shows where each one ranks among the 503 S&P 500 stocks.

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals is the lightest at 0.09%, and its $20.3 billion market cap is the smallest in the index (Nasdaq-100 list).

Sources: QYLD holdings (10 November 2026), SPY holdings (5 November 2026), country and IPO year from the Nasdaq.com screener.

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). 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).

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). For ADRs, the index counts only the depositary shares listed in the US (Nasdaq-100 methodology).

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.

How do you invest in all Nasdaq 100 companies?

Buy an index fund that tracks it, such as Invesco QQQ. Check the fund's own page for fees before you buy.

What to watch next on the Nasdaq 100 list

Watch the bottom of the table before December. CoreWeave (0.10%), Axon Enterprise (0.11%) and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (0.09%) are the lightest members (QYLD holdings), and the annual reconstitution uses market caps from 30 November 2026.
