Methodology Lark Davis's claim that the top 10 largest companies make up roughly 40% of the S&P 500 index is confirmed by numerous sources. Data from late 2024, 2025, and early 2026 indicates that this share ranges between 36-41%. For instance, in March 2026, 10 firms accounted for over 36% of the index, and by the end of 2025, it was nearly 41%. In May 2026, the share was between 37.46% and 39.37%. The assertion that the market has never been this top-heavy in modern financial history is also largely confirmed. Current concentration levels are described as 'record high' or 'all-time high' in modern periods, surpassing the dot-com bubble peak (around 27-29%). While one source mentions a similar level around 1900, 'modern financial history' typically refers to a more contemporary period.

It's a tiny handful of massive tech giants to keep outperforming. And so far, that's been a good bet.
