Market remains highly concentrated: The top 10 stocks now reflect 36% of the S&P 500's market cap, near an all-time high. Moreover, the market cap of the largest US stock is ~700 TIMES larger than the 75th percentile stock, near the most since the Great Depression of the 1930s. https://t.co/iDHanRcDKc
Foreign Investors now 18% of the U.S. Equity Market, the most in history 🚨 https://t.co/1FqDOzw6jD







As of March 2025, investor allocation to U.S. stocks has reached an all-time high of 51%, surpassing levels seen during the Dot-Com Bubble. This surge in investment occurs despite the U.S. market underperforming compared to other global markets since the 2022 bear market. The concentration of wealth within the S&P 500 has also raised concerns, with the top 10 stocks now accounting for approximately 36% of the index's market value, a figure nearing record levels. Additionally, the market capitalization of the largest U.S. stock is around 700 times larger than that of the 75th percentile stock, marking the highest concentration since the Great Depression. Furthermore, foreign investors now hold 18% of the U.S. equity market, the highest proportion in history, indicating a significant shift in market ownership dynamics over the past decade.
