The Nasdaq Composite Index hit another milestone Dec. 26, passing 9,000 points for the first time. The index, known as a benchmark for technology companies, is huge — 2,690 stocks. Today we’ll show three lists of winners for 2019.
MarketWatch’s Mark DeCambre reviewed the index’s performance since it topped its previous 8,000-point milestone in August 2018 and found that a good part of its gain was provided by non-tech companies, including Lululemon Athletica LULU, -0.50% and Starbucks SBUX, +0.06%. Since the Nasdaq-100 excludes financial companies , we have also looked at the Nasdaq Financial-100 Index IXF, -0.14%, which makes up only 5% of the full Nasdaq.
