The shape of the universe
As of 2026-11-11, the tracked universe spans eight sectors and 2,504 companies. Counting by names — the most reliable signal here — the distribution is top-heavy:
| Sector | Companies |
|---|---|
| Technology | 661 |
| Industrials | 480 |
| Healthcare | 414 |
| Basic Materials | 362 |
| Consumer Cyclical | 189 |
| Energy | 151 |
| Financials | 149 |
| Communication Services | 98 |
Technology alone is roughly a quarter of the list, and the top three sectors together account for about 62% of tracked names. That skew matters: a universe this weighted toward Technology, Industrials, and Healthcare will move with the fortunes of those groups, regardless of how an individual watchlist is built.
Notable names
The marquee names are where you'd expect them. Technology carries AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, AMD, CRM, and INTC. Communication Services — the smallest sector by count — is quietly the most concentrated in household megacaps: GOOGL, META, DIS, NFLX, and Tencent (0700.HK). Financials anchors on BRK.B, JPM, V, MA, and BAC; Consumer Cyclical on AMZN, TSLA, HD, and Alibaba (9988.HK). Industrials is the most eclectic, mixing Honeywell and nVent with newer bets like Archer Aviation (ACHR) and a long tail of listings from mainland China, Taiwan, and beyond.
A market-cap puzzle worth flagging
The aggregate market-cap totals do not line up with the counts, and I'd treat them with open skepticism rather than report them as fact. Energy (151 names) and Financials (149 names) show totals several times larger than Technology's — Financials at roughly $159 trillion — which would exceed the entire world's equity value many times over. Those numbers are not credible as stated.
The sample names hint at why. The universe is full of cross-listed duplicates: Novo Resources appears as NVO.TO and NVO.AX, Galantas Gold as GAL.V and GAL.L, Obsidian Energy as OBE and OBE.TO, Tesla as TL0.F and TL0.DE, and Alphabet as both GOOGL and GOOG. If a company's full market cap is counted once per listing, totals balloon — and sectors with heavy foreign and dual-class representation inflate fastest. That is the most likely culprit behind the Energy and Financials figures.
What an investor might watch
Three things. First, concentration risk: with Technology dominating the count, breadth signals drawn from this universe lean tech. Second, the duplication itself — before trusting any sector-level aggregate, de-duplicate by issuer, not by ticker. Third, the under-the-radar sectors: Communication Services is small in number but dense in megacaps, so its few names punch above their weight.
Bottom line
Count the names and the story is clear — a Tech-led, Industrials-and-Healthcare-heavy universe with a deep international tail. Trust the market-cap sums less until the cross-listings are reconciled. For a platform that feeds data to AI agents, clean issuer-level aggregation is not a nicety; it's the difference between a signal and an artifact.
