Mag 7 in the Dow
10/29/2025, 1:10:15 AM
Economic Summary
- Multiple MAG7 members (AMZN, GOOGL, AAPL, MSFT) are represented in the Dow, changing index exposure for these large tech names and affecting investor flows.
- NVIDIA (NVDA) was reported to replace Intel (INTC) in the Dow on November 1, 2024; that change increased NVDA's index visibility and reportedly created a buying opportunity in INTC.
- The Dow's price-weighted structure produces unusual top-five weights — GS, MSFT, CAT, HD, UNH — and notable exclusions like META and TSLA, highlighting index composition quirks.
Bullish
- Intel (INTC) presented a post-replacement buying opportunity.

Bearish
- Meta (META) is not in the Dow, indicating less index-driven demand.
- Tesla (TSLA) likely won't join the Dow, limiting index inclusion benefits.
