Top 25 in S&P 500
It is unsurprising to see the Big Tech names still reigning supreme in the S&P 500. The five largest of them have all surpassed valuations of $1T! Nvidia in particular has had a very good year, with their market cap being only around $350B this time last year. That is an increase of over 200%! Others that haven’t done as well and have actually dropped out of the top 25 include: Bank of America, Pfizer, and Coca Cola.
