As of this morning the "Mega 9" mega market cap stocks (NVDA, MSFT, APPL, AMZN, GOOG, META, AVGO (Broadcom), BRK.B and TSLA) are weighted at 38% in determining the performance of the S&P 500 Index.

The other 496 stocks (for some reason there are currently 505 stocks in SPX) are weighted at 62% of the index.

NVDA by itself has almost 7% weighting.

Since the SPX is market cap weighted, only 9 stocks have a heavy influence in determining what the SPX does each day.

What is the unweighted performance?

Never mind looked it up

YTD
SPY - 4.21%
RSP - 2.93%

SPX - 5.69%
SPXEW - 4.87%

So a 40% weighting is creating a 16.83% difference. No idea if my mathing is correct

Thanks for posting this. That changes my mind about investing in other tech outside of the S&P indexes I use

If you count AAPL and BRK.B are you double counting?

They make up approximately 15-20% or S&P 500 earnings, but they’ve driven 60-70% of earnings growth over the last year.
