NASDAQ-100

About NASDAQ-100

The Nasdaq-100 is an equity index rather than an operating company. It tracks 100 of the largest nonfinancial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market and is designed to provide exposure to large-cap growth-oriented businesses across technology, communications, consumer, healthcare, industrial, and other sectors. The index does not sell products, serve customers, or generate revenue, so segment contributions and operating margins are not applicable. Its scale is represented by the 100 constituents and the aggregate market value of those companies. Investors gain exposure through index products and derivatives, including Nasdaq-100 options, futures, and exchange-traded funds.
