Sea Limited trades in the US outside the S&P 500, so it shows here but counts in no sector figure above.

Cap-weighted uses each company's size at the start of the period; equal-weighted counts every company the same. XLC is the SPDR fund tracking this S&P 500 sector. It caps its largest holdings, so it can differ from the cap-weighted figure. Returns are in each listing's own currency and include dividends.

When cap-weighted and equal-weighted are far apart, a few giants are doing the moving. "Largest" and "best performing" describe what has happened, not what to do next.

Source: Yahoo Finance, delayed. Last close: US 4 Nov 2026, SGX 4 Nov 2026, HKEX 4 Nov 2026. Market caps show in each listing's currency; lists across markets rank them at US$1 = S$1.28 and HK$7.84. A company too new for a period shows "—" and is left out of that period's figures. Forward P/E rests on analyst forecasts.

A screen is a reason to dig deeper, not a buy list. Past dividends and returns don't promise future ones. Prices and dividends: Yahoo Finance, refreshed each weekday after the US and SGX closes. S-REIT report figures: each REIT's results on SGX, typed by hand after each results season. Insider transactions: SEC filings, refreshed each weekday, and US House reports.
