Best Nasdaq-100 stocks
The largest non-financial Nasdaq listings: far more technology-weighted and far more volatile than the S&P 500.
The screen: 55 US exchange-listed companies across 10 sectors (Technology, Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary, Financials…), 31 of which pay a dividend. Size mix: 11 mega-cap, 33 large-cap, 10 mid-cap, 1 small-cap.
What separates the winners from the losers here
- Whether you are buying the index or picking from it — the two have completely different outcomes
- Index concentration: the top ten holdings drive most of the move
- Fees, if the alternative is simply buying the tracking ETF

Where to buy them
To hold these as real shares you need a stockbroker rather than a CFD provider. If you only want exposure to the price movement, a share CFD does that with leverage — and without ownership.

Frequently asked questions
How many Nasdaq-100 stocks are in this list?
55, drawn from our US exchange-listed universe and spread across 10 sectors. 31 of them pay a dividend.
Is this a list of Nasdaq-100 stocks to buy?
No. It is a screen — a defined, reproducible filter over a stated universe. A screen tells you which companies share a characteristic; it says nothing about whether the price you would pay today is a sensible one. Nothing here is investment advice.
What is the main risk with Nasdaq-100 stocks?
Index membership is not a quality screen. Companies are added near their peak weight and removed after the damage is done.
How do I actually buy these from outside the US?
You need a broker that accepts your country of residence and gives you access to US exchanges. To own the shares outright, that usually means an international stockbroker plus a W-8BEN form to claim your treaty rate on dividend withholding.
