I have shared the component % of the indices many times. But check this out ...
Nvidia, $NVDA, now accounts for ~8% of the S&P 500, the highest for any individual stock since records began in 1981.
The only other company to exceed 7% in the past was Apple in 2023.
Not even the 2000 Dot-Com Bubble saw a stock dominate the S&P 500 to this extent.
For example, in 1999 and 2000, Microsoft and General Electric each accounted for ~4% of the S&P 500.
Furthermore, IBM's record share of the index was ~6% in 1984.

“It's official:
The top 10% largest US stocks now reflect a record 76% of the US equity market.
This has officially surpassed the previous record set before the Great Depression in the 1930s.
By comparison, at the 2000 Dot-Com Bubble peak, the top 10%'s share was at ~73%.
In the 1980s, this figure was below 50%.
Meanwhile, the top 10 stocks in the S&P 500 now represent a record 40% of the index’s market cap.
We are witnessing history.”
