The overall index has been pretty well flat. What sectors gained?
And surely there aren't 140 "software and services" companies in the top 500 by market cap?
- bigiain 9mo agoPretty sure there are 500 "software and services" companies in the The S&P 500 Software & Services Index.

There is a ‘S&P Software & Services Select Industry Index’ with 140 constituents. That’s probably the index in question.
- zahlman 9mo agoRight; so if it's not "the software and services subset of S&P 500", then TFA was mistaken in including "500" in the name. That's what I was trying to establish. Either that, or there really are 140/503 software and service companies, and I learned something surprising.
- bts89 9mo agoAgreed. It’s likely just a typo.

The current US economy is flat except for AI and data centers.[1] [1] https://fortune.com/2025/10/07/data-centers-gdp-growth-zero-first-half-2025-jason-furman-harvard-economist/ https://fortune.com/2025/10/07/data-centers-gdp-growth-zero-...
