NASDAQ

The NASDAQ is an index of the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. It focuses on the top-performing industries such as technology (54%), consumer services (25%), and healthcare (21%).

This index tracks the performance of the world’s most innovative companies, including Apple, Google, Intel, and Tesla. The NASDAQ is a benchmark primarily for US tech stocks.

Imagine a basket of companies that issue shares. The NASDAQ index tracks changes in their share prices. It’s well-known for its day-to-day volatility, so it attracts traders worldwide.

How is it calculated?

The NASDAQ-100 index is a modified market capitalization-weighted index. The index value equals the aggregate value of the share weights, also known as the index shares, of each index securities multiplied by each such each security’s last sale price and divided by the index’s divisor.

This weighting limits the influence of the largest companies and balances the index with all members. No company on the Nasdaq-100 can have more than a 24% weighting.
