Two stocks in the S&P500 account for 15% of the index
The top two stocks in the S&P 500 (Apple & Microsoft) now represent a combined 15% of the index, the highest weighting for two companies with data going back to 1980. Apple and Microsoft are now both larger than the entire Russell 2000 index.
The S&P 500 is up 16.5% this year, but the top 10 stocks account for 93% of that gain.
The 10 largest companies have a 33% weight in the S&P 500. Just 10 years ago, no single stock in the S&P 500 had a weight above three percent. Today, there are five such companies.
