S&P 500 Companies List 2026: All 503 Stocks Ranked by Weight, Apple Leads at 7.92%

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.

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).

Key Takeaways

  • The S&P 500 holds 503 stocks from 500 companies; Alphabet, Fox and News Corp each list two share classes (SPY holdings)
  • Apple leads at 7.92%, then Nvidia 6.93% and Microsoft 6.27% (SPY holdings)
  • The top 10 stocks carry 37.56% of the index; the Magnificent 7 (8 tickers) carry 33.50% (SPY holdings)
  • Information Technology is 35.51% of the weight from 76 stocks; Industrials has the most members at 83 (Select Sector SPDR holdings)
  • The index returned 11.77% year to date and 15.44% a year over 10 years through 31 October 2026 (State Street SPY page)
📊
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). 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).

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). 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).

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).

10Berkshire HathawayBRK.BFinancials1.68%

Source: SPY daily holdings, as of 5 November 2026. 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).

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).

That's more weight than the entire Financials sector, which spreads 12.75% across 76 stocks (XLF holdings).

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).

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).

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), XLK holdings.

Sources: sector membership from each Select Sector SPDR holdings file (linked per sector); weights from SPY holdings, both as of 5 November 2026. 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).

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).

⚠️
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.

Source: State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) daily holdings, as of 5 November 2026; weight = share of SPY net assets (SPY fully replicates the index; cash and one contingent value right excluded). GICS sectors from the eleven Select Sector SPDR holdings files on the same date, cross-checked 503 of 503 against Wikipedia's S&P 500 list. Weights shift daily with share prices.

S&P 500 vs Fortune 500: two different lists

The S&P 500 ranks by float-adjusted market value and requires a committee vote. 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). See the Fortune 500 companies list and the Fortune 500 by state report for the revenue view.

The full Fortune 500 for 2026: Amazon at No. 1, by-state and by-industry counts, rankings, employment and CEO pay.

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).

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).

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, 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. Alphabet, Fox and News Corp each have two share classes in the index. Source: SPY holdings.

What is the largest company in the S&P 500?

Apple, at 7.92% of the index on 5 November 2026. Nvidia (6.93%) and Microsoft (6.27%) follow. Source: SPY holdings.

Which sector has the most S&P 500 companies?

Who decides which companies are in the S&P 500?

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.

How often does the S&P 500 companies list change?

Several times a year. The index is rebalanced quarterly, and members are also swapped after mergers, spin-offs and delistings, so check the date on any list you use.

Is the S&P 500 the same as the Fortune 500?

No. The S&P 500 weights public companies by market value; the Fortune 500 ranks US companies by revenue. See the Fortune 500 companies list for the revenue ranking.

How can I invest in all S&P 500 companies at once?

Buy an S&P 500 index fund or ETF. SPY, launched 22 January 1993, holds every member and charges a 0.0945% gross expense ratio. Source: State Street SPY page.

What to watch next on the S&P 500 list

Watch the bottom of the table, not the top. Names under 0.01%, like Skydance at No. 502, are where the next deletions usually come from.
