Nasdaq Composite chart
The Nasdaq Composite is a broad stock market index covering essentially all common stocks listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, spanning thousands of companies across every size and sector, though it remains heavily weighted towards technology by value.
The Nasdaq Composite index itself is not available as a free tradable feed on TradingView, so this page shows the Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF (ONEQ) as a proxy. The ETF aims to track the index closely but is a separate, tradable fund with its own price, fees and minor tracking difference.

What is Nasdaq Composite?
The Nasdaq Composite is maintained by Nasdaq, Inc. and includes essentially every common stock listed on the Nasdaq exchange, meaning its constituent count runs into the thousands rather than the low hundreds typical of large-cap benchmarks.
It is weighted by market capitalisation, so despite its broad membership, movements are still dominated by the largest constituents by value, many of which are large technology companies also found in the Nasdaq 100.
The standard figure quoted is a price-return index and excludes dividends. Because it cannot be bought directly, funds such as the ETF shown on this page attempt to replicate its composition and performance, though tracking is never perfectly exact.
How to read this chart
A rising chart broadly indicates that Nasdaq-listed companies, weighted by market value, have gained in aggregate; a falling chart indicates the opposite.
Because the chart here is an ETF rather than the index itself, its price also reflects the fund's expense ratio and any dividend distributions, so it will not match the index value exactly, particularly over longer periods.
Given the index's breadth, headline moves can still be driven by a small number of very large constituents even while the median listed company moves differently.
What moves it?
- Large technology constituents
- The largest Nasdaq-listed companies carry substantial weight, so their earnings and guidance can move the broad index even though it includes thousands of names.
- Breadth of smaller listings
- Because the Composite includes many smaller and newly listed companies, it can be more sensitive than large-cap indices to risk appetite for growth and early-stage businesses.
- Interest-rate expectations
- Many constituents are valued heavily on future earnings, making the index sensitive to changes in the expected path of interest rates.
- New listings and delistings
- IPO activity and companies moving on or off the exchange continually change the index's composition and can affect its reported level.
Why businesses and investors monitor it
The Composite gives a broader read on the health of Nasdaq-listed businesses than the Nasdaq 100 alone, useful for tracking sentiment towards smaller and mid-sized growth companies.
Analysts sometimes compare the Composite's breadth against the Nasdaq 100's concentration to assess how widely a rally or decline is shared across the exchange.
Nasdaq Composite vs Nasdaq 100
The Composite includes essentially all Nasdaq-listed common stocks — thousands of companies of every size and sector — while the Nasdaq 100 is limited to roughly 100 of the largest non-financial names.
Because the two share many of the same top constituents, they often move in the same direction, but the Composite better reflects the breadth of participation across smaller and newer listings.
Frequently asked questions
Is ONEQ the same as the Nasdaq Composite?
No. ONEQ is an ETF designed to track the Nasdaq Composite's performance closely, but it is a separate fund with its own fees and minor tracking differences.
Why does the Composite include so many more companies than the Nasdaq 100?
The Composite covers essentially all common stocks listed on Nasdaq, while the Nasdaq 100 is a curated subset of around 100 large non-financial companies.
Does the Composite include financial companies?
Yes. Unlike the Nasdaq 100, the Composite does not exclude financial companies listed on the exchange.
How is the ETF proxy priced differently from the index?
The ETF trades at its own market price, influenced by the underlying index but also affected by fund fees, dividend distributions and normal trading supply and demand.
