The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) has appreciated by over 30% in the past eight months, a dichotomy from the once-bearish market. The 10 largest artificial intelligence (AI) stocks now comprise an outsized part of the S&P 500, indicating investor optimism in AI’s future.
Why it Matters: The S&P 500’s sky-high performance amid tough macro conditions can largely be attributed to the proliferation of AI. On its own, NVIDIA’s eye-popping performance has accounted for around half of the S&P 500’s advance in 2024. In the meantime, other industries have struggled.
In recent months, other AI and AI-adjacent stocks have been added to the index. Super Micro Computer Inc was added to the S&P in March, while cybersecurity company CrowdStrike Holdings Inc will be added next week.
