The '''NASDAQ-100''' ('''NDX''') is a stock market index comprising 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the [[Nasdaq Stock Market]] based on modified market capitalization. Introduced on 31 January 1985 by [[Nasdaq, Inc.]], the index is widely regarded as one of the principal benchmarks for the technology sector and growth-oriented equities in the United States. Unlike broader market indices, the NASDAQ-100 excludes companies primarily engaged in financial services, focusing instead on industries such as technology, consumer discretionary, healthcare, telecommunications, industrials, and consumer services. The index serves as a widely followed benchmark for institutional and retail investors and underlies numerous exchange-traded funds (ETFs), derivatives, and structured financial products. | The '''NASDAQ-100''' ('''NDX''') is a stock market index comprising 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the [[Nasdaq Stock Market]] based on modified market capitalization.

The NASDAQ-100 is composed of eligible domestic and international non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market that meet specified requirements relating to market capitalization, liquidity, trading history, public float, and corporate governance. Constituents are weighted using a modified capitalization-weighted methodology designed to limit excessive concentration in the largest companies while preserving market representation. The index is rebalanced periodically and undergoes annual reconstitution to ensure continued compliance with eligibility criteria. Because of its concentration in large technology and innovation-driven companies, the NASDAQ-100 is widely used as an indicator of the performance of the U.S. technology and growth equity sectors. | The NASDAQ-100 is composed of eligible domestic and international non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market that meet specified requirements relating to market capitalization, liquidity, trading history, public float, and corporate governance.
