The shape of the universe
As of 2026-08-11, the tracked universe spans 1,931 companies across eight sectors. Ranked by company count, the ordering is unambiguous:
| Sector | Companies |
|---|---|
| Technology | 557 |
| Industrials | 374 |
| Healthcare | 320 |
| Basic Materials | 239 |
| Consumer Cyclical | 138 |
| Financials | 115 |
| Energy | 113 |
| Communication Services | 75 |
Technology alone accounts for roughly 29% of all tracked names, and the top three sectors — Technology, Industrials, and Healthcare — make up about 65% of the universe between them. That is a distinctly growth-and-innovation tilt, and it mirrors where investor attention has concentrated.
Where the marquee names sit
The familiar mega-caps cluster exactly where you'd expect. Technology is anchored by Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, AMD, Salesforce, and Intel. Communication Services — the smallest sector by count at 75 names — is punchier than its size suggests, holding Alphabet, Meta, Netflix, Disney, and Tencent. Financials leans on Berkshire Hathaway, JPMorgan, Visa, Mastercard, and Bank of America, while Energy carries Exxon Mobil, Shell, and Reliance Industries.
The contrast between Communication Services' small count and its outsized household names is the clearest reminder that company count is a measure of breadth, not weight. Seventy-five tickers can still represent a very large slice of investable value.
The long tail is real
Beyond the blue chips, the sample names reveal a genuinely global, deep long tail: Xiamen Solex High-tech (Industrials, Shanghai), Argentina Lithium & Energy and Galantas Gold (Basic Materials), PenetriumBio on the Korean KOSDAQ (Healthcare), and Archer Aviation in the eVTOL space (Industrials). Basic Materials in particular — 239 names — is dominated by small miners and specialty producers rather than a handful of giants.
A caveat on the market-cap figures
The provided aggregate market caps should be read with caution. Several sectors show totals that are hard to reconcile with their constituents — Consumer Cyclical reports a far smaller aggregate than sectors it plainly outweighs, despite housing Amazon and Tesla. The sample names hint at why: the universe contains many cross-listings of the same underlying company (Tesla as TL0.F and TL0.DE, Alphabet as GOOGL and GOOG, Novo Resources as NVO.TO and NVO.AX, Galantas as GAL.V and GAL.L). Duplicate listings can both inflate counts and distort naive market-cap sums. Treat the count rankings as the reliable signal here; treat the cap totals as directional at best.
What an investor might watch
Three things stand out. First, the concentration of tracked names in Technology and Industrials means screens and momentum signals will naturally surface more candidates there — guard against sector crowding. Second, the depth in Basic Materials and Industrials offers real hunting ground for small-cap and thematic ideas (lithium, gold, aviation). Third, the cross-listing noise is a standing reminder to deduplicate by underlying entity before drawing portfolio-level conclusions. Breadth is an asset; clean breadth is a bigger one.
