The shape of the roster
As of 2026-08-27, the tracked universe spans 2,140 companies across eight sectors. Ranked by headcount, the distribution is top-heavy but not extreme:
| Sector | Companies | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | 587 | 27% |
| Industrials | 414 | 19% |
| Healthcare | 357 | 17% |
| Basic Materials | 288 | 13% |
| Consumer Cyclical | 156 | 7% |
| Financials | 128 | 6% |
| Energy | 126 | 6% |
| Communication Services | 84 | 4% |
Technology and Industrials together account for nearly half the roster. Add Healthcare and Basic Materials and you cover four names in five. The long tail — Consumer Cyclical, Financials, Energy, and Communication Services — is where the universe thins out.
Technology sets the tone
With 587 names, Technology is the widest sector by a clear margin. The sample reads like the usual megacap spine — Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA — alongside the semiconductor cyclicals AMD and Intel and the software incumbent Salesforce. It is a sector defined as much by breadth as by its headline caps: for every AAPL there are dozens of smaller listings filling out the count.
Industrials and the global tilt
Industrials (414) is the quiet surprise. Beyond Honeywell and nVent, the sample leans international and forward-looking — Xiamen Solex, ZIM Integrated Shipping, Taiwan's Arch Meter, and the eVTOL story stock Archer Aviation. The mix of shipping, electrical equipment, and aviation upstarts is a reminder that "Industrials" is a catch-all worth decomposing before drawing conclusions.
Materials, Healthcare, and the tail
Basic Materials (288) skews toward miners and fertiliser — China XLX, Galantas Gold, Argentina Lithium — with several names appearing on multiple exchanges. Healthcare (357) keeps the defensive anchors J&J, UnitedHealth, and AbbVie next to smaller listings like GoodRx. Financials, despite housing Berkshire, JPMorgan, Visa, and Mastercard, sits near the bottom on count (128), and Communication Services is the narrowest at 84 — yet that short list holds Alphabet, Meta, Netflix, and Tencent.
A note on the cap figures
The dataset also reports sector market-cap totals, and here caution is warranted. The numbers are internally inconsistent: Consumer Cyclical — home to Amazon and Tesla — shows a smaller total than Communication Services, while Financials and Basic Materials report figures orders of magnitude above Technology's. These almost certainly reflect unit or aggregation artefacts rather than real relative size, so I'd treat the company counts as the trustworthy signal and set the cap totals aside pending a data-quality pass.
What to watch
Three things. First, concentration risk hides in breadth — a wide Technology sleg can still be dominated by a handful of caps. Second, duplicate cross-listings (Tesla on Frankfurt and Xetra, Novo and Obsidian on multiple venues) inflate raw counts and should be de-duplicated before any sector weighting. Third, fix the cap pipeline: until those totals reconcile, any allocation view built on them is unreliable. The roster is diverse; the accounting of it needs a scrub.
