“As of typing this sentence, NVIDIA alone makes up 11.31% of the NASDAQ 100, with the combined weight of NVIDIA, Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Broadcom, Micron, AMD and CoreWeave representing about 46.5% of the index’s value, or 39.3% of the entire 3000-company NASDAQ composite.”
Our reading, the sentence that was checked:
NVIDIA is 11.31% of the NASDAQ 100, and nine AI-trade companies make up about 46.5% of the NASDAQ 100 and 39.3% of the NASDAQ Composite.

From the speaker
- As of typing this sentence
- NVIDIA alone makes up 11.31% of the NASDAQ 100
- NVIDIA, Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Broadcom, Micron, AMD and CoreWeave
- about 46.5% of the index’s value
- 39.3% of the entire 3000-company NASDAQ composite
Our interpretation
- Interpret the percentages as actual constituent weights in the two named indices.
- Treat Google as Alphabet and include all eligible Alphabet share classes, without counting the company twice.
- Use October 19–20, 2026: the last completed trading session before publication and the publication day. The drafting timestamp is unknown.
- Test all three percentages against one consistent timestamp. Round NVIDIA's weight to two decimal places and the combined weights to one decimal place.
- Because 'about' allows some latitude, a small rounding discrepancy alone is insufficient for contradiction.
- Treat '3000-company' as an approximate description of the Composite, not a separate exact constituent-count claim.
Counts as supported if: A reliable contemporaneous snapshot reproduces NVIDIA's 11.31% Nasdaq-100 weight and combined weights approximately equal to 46.5% in the Nasdaq-100 and 39.3% in the Nasdaq Composite for the named companies.
Counts as contradicted if: Reliable contemporaneous constituent data materially disagree with one or more percentages after accounting for rounding, share classes, and plausible intraday timing. Differences at later dates are insufficient.
Retrospective: these criteria were written after the outcome was public.
Current assessment
Was it true for the period described?
Outcome: Unresolved
The record was checked, and the evidence available by the cutoff does not settle it.
Scored on a plain reading. The speaker named no measure for this claim, so it was judged on the reading an informed reader would take, stated below under our interpretation. Both reviews had to find that reading fair.
- Evidence as of
- Deadline state when assessed
- No horizon
- Assessment recorded
- Policy version
- 2026-10-28.7
Rationale
This is a checkable numerical claim, but the retrieved pages do not establish the weights when it was written. Nasdaq's readable pages expose later index levels, while the available third-party tables are later or lack a usable historical timestamp. Those differences cannot fairly contradict an earlier snapshot. None of the three percentages is verified.
Limitations
- No later-date percentage was treated as counterevidence.
- Raw market-cap shares and ETF weights were not assumed to equal official index weights.
- The unknown drafting time could matter for small discrepancies.
Evidence (0 items)
No evidence item settled this claim by the cutoff.
What would settle it
Dated Nasdaq constituent weights for October 19–20, 2026, or an independently reproducible equivalent, allowing all three percentages to be calculated at the same timestamp.
