What is Nasdaq 100?
Nasdaq, Inc. maintains the index and includes around 100 of the largest non-financial Nasdaq-listed companies, ranked broadly by market cap and screened for eligibility and liquidity. Banks and other financial companies are deliberately left out.
Weighting uses a modified float-adjusted market-cap method, with periodic caps to stop the very largest members dominating the index too much.
The commonly quoted figure is price return and excludes dividends. Like any index, you can't buy it directly - funds, futures or CFDs replicate it instead. The index is reconstituted annually, with quarterly weight tweaks in between.
How to read this chart
A rising Nasdaq 100 chart means the combined, cap-weighted value of its roughly 100 constituents has increased; a falling chart means the opposite.
Even after capping, a handful of mega-cap technology names carry large weights, so the index can swing sharply on news from just a few firms - more so than a broader benchmark would.
The chart here is a CFD proxy, so short-term values can diverge slightly from the official index due to the provider's own pricing; dividends are also excluded from the headline figure.
What moves it?
- Technology sector earnings
- Results and guidance from the largest constituent tech and internet firms can move the index disproportionately given their combined weight.
- Interest-rate expectations
- Growth companies with earnings weighted toward the future are especially sensitive to changes in discount rates set by monetary policy.
- Semiconductor and AI-related demand
- Chip-sector spending and AI-linked revenue trends have become a significant influence given the sector's weight in the index.
- Regulatory developments
- Antitrust action, data-privacy rules and platform regulation aimed at big tech can affect sentiment across a large share of the index.
- US dollar strength
- Many constituents earn a large share of revenue overseas, so dollar moves affect earnings once translated back into US dollars.
Why people watch it
Businesses in technology, media and related supply chains track the Nasdaq 100 as a proxy for demand and investment conditions in the sector.
Investors use it to gauge growth-stock sentiment and as a benchmark for technology-tilted portfolios and funds.
Nasdaq 100 vs Nasdaq Composite
The Nasdaq 100 is a curated list of roughly 100 large non-financial companies. The Nasdaq Composite includes essentially all common stocks listed on Nasdaq - thousands of companies of every size and sector, including financials.
Because the Composite includes many smaller and mid-sized names alongside the mega-caps, its performance can diverge from the Nasdaq 100 even though the largest constituents overlap and often dominate both.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Nasdaq 100 include banks?
No. Financial companies, including banks and insurers, are excluded by the index rules; the Nasdaq 100 focuses on non-financial companies.
How is the Nasdaq 100 different from the Dow?
The Dow is price-weighted and spans 30 companies across many sectors, while the Nasdaq 100 is cap-weighted and limited to around 100 large non-financial Nasdaq-listed companies.
Why is a CFD shown instead of the index?
The official Nasdaq 100 feed isn't offered as a free TradingView symbol, so this page uses an OANDA CFD that closely tracks its price moves.
How often are the weights adjusted?
Nasdaq reconstitutes the index annually and reviews weights quarterly, applying caps to limit concentration in the largest constituents.
