Apple, Nvidia and Microsoft lead. - Author: Best Firms Editorial - Tags: Business, Finance, Report, Rankings, 2026 Searches for the S&P 500 companies list have roughly tripled since 2023 in Google Trends, and most people typing it want one thing: every member, in order, with today's weights. This page gives you all 503 stocks ranked by index weight, the sector split, the top 10 in detail and how the index compares with the [Fortune 500 companies list](https://www.bestfirms.org/fortune-500-companies-list/). Every weight below comes from State Street's daily holdings file for the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), dated 5 November 2026 ([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)). ## Key Takeaways - The S&P 500 holds 503 stocks from 500 companies; Alphabet, Fox and News Corp each list two share classes ([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)) - **Apple** leads at 7.92%, then **Nvidia** 6.93% and **Microsoft** 6.27% ([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)) - The top 10 stocks carry 37.56% of the index; the Magnificent 7 (8 tickers) carry 33.50% ([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)) - Information Technology is 35.51% of the weight from 76 stocks; Industrials has the most members at 83 ([Select Sector SPDR holdings](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/library-content/products/fund-data/etfs/us/holdings-daily-us-en-xlk.xlsx?ref=bestfirms.org)) - The index returned 11.77% year to date and 15.44% a year over 10 years through 31 October 2026 ([State Street SPY page](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/etfs/state-street-spdr-sp-500-etf-trust-spy?ref=bestfirms.org)) 📊 Short answer from Best Firms: the S&P 500 companies list has 503 tickers from 500 companies as of 5 November 2026\. Apple (7.92%), Nvidia (6.93%), Microsoft (6.27%), Amazon (4.03%) and Alphabet's two share classes (4.72% combined) are the five biggest weights. The full ranked table is below. ## What the S&P 500 is, and why it has 503 stocks The S&P 500 is S&P Dow Jones Indices' large-cap US stock index, weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization ([State Street SPY page](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/etfs/state-street-spdr-sp-500-etf-trust-spy?ref=bestfirms.org)). A bigger company with more freely traded shares gets a bigger slice. It's a committee-picked index, not a pure top-500 cutoff. That's why a few companies bigger than some members still sit outside it. The 503 figure is a share-class quirk. **Alphabet** (GOOGL and GOOG), **Fox** (FOXA and FOX) and **News Corp** (NWSA and NWS) each have two listed classes in the index, so 500 companies produce 503 tickers ([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)). Best Firms uses SPY weights because State Street publishes the full holdings file every trading day, and SPY has tracked the index since its launch on 22 January 1993 ([State Street SPY page](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/etfs/state-street-spdr-sp-500-etf-trust-spy?ref=bestfirms.org)). The fund's index-tracking gap is small: 11.66% year to date at NAV versus 11.77% for the index through 31 October 2026 ([SPY performance](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/etfs/state-street-spdr-sp-500-etf-trust-spy?ref=bestfirms.org)). ## Top 10 S&P 500 companies by index weight Ten stocks make up 37.56% of the S&P 500\. Eight of them are tech platforms (counting Alphabet's two share classes), and the other two are **Eli Lilly** and **Berkshire Hathaway** ([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)). | Rank | Company | Ticker | GICS sector | Index weight | | ---- | --------------------------- | ------ | ---------------------- | ------------ | | 1 | **Apple Inc.** | AAPL | Information Technology | 7.92% | | 2 | **Nvidia** | NVDA | Information Technology | 6.93% | | 3 | **Microsoft** | MSFT | Information Technology | 6.27% | | 4 | **Amazon** | AMZN | Consumer Discretionary | 4.03% | | 5 | **Alphabet Inc.

Alphabet appears twice (Class A GOOGL and Class C GOOG). **Alphabet**'s two share classes combine to 4.72%, which would make it No. 4 as a single line, ahead of Amazon ([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)). ### Apple, Nvidia and Microsoft: 21% of the index in three stocks **Apple** (7.92%), **Nvidia** (6.93%) and **Microsoft** (6.27%) add up to 21.12% of the S&P 500 ([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)). That's more weight than the entire Financials sector, which spreads 12.75% across 76 stocks ([XLF holdings](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/library-content/products/fund-data/etfs/us/holdings-daily-us-en-xlf.xlsx?ref=bestfirms.org)). ### Outside the mega-caps: Lilly, Berkshire, Tesla and JPMorgan **Eli Lilly** is the largest non-tech name at No. 9 (1.72%), just ahead of **Berkshire Hathaway** (1.68%). **Tesla** sits at No. 11 (1.53%) and **JPMorgan Chase** at No. 12 (1.41%) ([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)). **Micron Technology** at No. 13 (1.17%) is the surprise of the 2026 list: memory chips now outweigh **Visa** (1.13%) and **ExxonMobil** (1.07%) ([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)). ## S&P 500 companies by sector Industrials has the most members, 83, but only 8.13% of the weight. Information Technology flips that: 76 members and 35.51% of the index ([XLI holdings](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/library-content/products/fund-data/etfs/us/holdings-daily-us-en-xli.xlsx?ref=bestfirms.org)), [XLK holdings](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/library-content/products/fund-data/etfs/us/holdings-daily-us-en-xlk.xlsx?ref=bestfirms.org). | GICS sector | Stocks | Index weight | Largest member (weight) | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------ | ------------ | ------------------------------- | | [Information Technology](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/library-content/products/fund-data/etfs/us/holdings-daily-us-en-xlk.xlsx?ref=bestfirms.org) | 76 | 35.51% | Apple Inc.

Sector weights sum to 99.90% because SPY holds a little cash. The three smallest sectors by weight are Real Estate (1.90%), Materials (1.79%) and Utilities (2.14%). Together they hold 85 stocks but less than 6% of the index ([XLRE holdings](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/library-content/products/fund-data/etfs/us/holdings-daily-us-en-xlre.xlsx?ref=bestfirms.org)). Weight thins out fast below the top 50\. The top 50 stocks hold 62.37%, the bottom 250 hold 8.76%, and only 17 stocks weigh 1% or more ([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)). ⚠️ Concentration check: the top 50 stocks hold 62.37% of the S&P 500, while the bottom 250 hold just 8.76%. 17 stocks weigh 1% or more, and 206 weigh less than 0.05% each. An S&P 500 index fund is a large-cap growth bet first and a 500-company basket second.

The Fortune 500 ranks US companies purely by annual revenue, public or private. That's why the lists disagree at the top. Fortune's revenue ranking puts **Amazon** at No. 1, while the S&P 500 ranks it fourth by weight (4.03%) ([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)). See the [Fortune 500 companies list](https://www.bestfirms.org/fortune-500-companies-list/) and the [Fortune 500 by state](https://www.bestfirms.org/fortune-500-companies-by-state-2026/) report for the revenue view. [Fortune 500 Companies List 2026The full Fortune 500 for 2026: Amazon at No. 1, by-state and by-industry counts, rankings, employment and CEO pay.![](https://www.bestfirms.org/favicon.ico)Best Firms](https://www.bestfirms.org/fortune-500-companies-list/) ## S&P 500 returns through October 2026 The index you just read the membership of returned 11.77% in 2026 through 31 October, after a 0.87% dip in October itself ([State Street SPY page](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/etfs/state-street-spdr-sp-500-etf-trust-spy?ref=bestfirms.org)). | Period to 31 Oct 2026 | S&P 500 Index | SPY at NAV | | --------------------- | ------------- | ---------- | | 1 month | \-0.87% | \-0.88% | | Year to date | 11.77% | 11.66% | | 1 year | 12.11% | 11.98% | | 3 years (annualized) | 23.40% | 23.24% | | 5 years (annualized) | 12.06% | 11.93% | | 10 years (annualized) | 15.44% | 15.29% | Source: [State Street SPY fund page](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/etfs/state-street-spdr-sp-500-etf-trust-spy?ref=bestfirms.org), month-end performance as of 31 October 2026\. Total returns; SPY gross expense ratio 0.0945%. The 3-year number is the outlier. 23.40% a year since late 2023 is the AI-capex run that pushed Nvidia, Broadcom and Micron up the weight table ([SPY performance](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/etfs/state-street-spdr-sp-500-etf-trust-spy?ref=bestfirms.org)). ## Best Firms' take 💡 Best Firms' take: the S&P 500 companies list says 500 names, but your money doesn't spread that way. Eight tickers hold 33.50% and the bottom half holds 8.76%. That's fine if you want to own the US mega-caps cheaply. It's the wrong tool if you think you're buying broad diversification, and it breaks hardest when one AI-chip cycle turns. Use this list to see where your index money actually sits, then compare it with the [fastest growing companies in the US](https://www.bestfirms.org/fastest-growing-companies-in-the-us/), which skew much smaller than the S&P 500's top 10. --- ## FAQ #### How many companies are in the S&P 500? 500 companies and 503 stocks as of 5 November 2026\.

The index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. It weighs size, liquidity, free float and profitability, so it isn't simply the 500 biggest US companies. Index description: [State Street SPY page](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/etfs/state-street-spdr-sp-500-etf-trust-spy?ref=bestfirms.org). #### How often does the S&P 500 companies list change?
