Technology Sector’s Share in S&P 500 Falls by Three Percentage Points

The technology sector’s weight in the S&P 500 index has dropped from approximately 35% over the past year as energy and materials modestly gained share.

Fact Check
The claim is supported by financial market data from late 2025 and early 2026. Sources from Charles Schwab and J.P. Morgan confirm the starting point of approximately 35% for the technology sector's weight in the S&P 500. Subsequent reports from Barron's and Schwab in February 2026 document a market rotation where energy and materials gained share while tech's relative weight declined, consistent with the reported three percentage point drop.
