The S&P 100 ETF Just Dumped Nike and Colgate for 4 AI Stocks. Here's What That Means for Your Portfolio

  • The iShares S&P 100 ETF is dropping Nike, Colgate-Palmolive, Simon Property Group, and Honeywell, replacing these established names with four technology companies tied to artificial intelligence capital spending.
  • Nike reported 0% revenue growth in its most recent fiscal year, as business declined 13% in Greater China while growing only 5% in North America; the stock has fallen 76% over five years.
  • New additions Dell Technologies, Palo Alto Networks, Arista Networks, and SanDisk reflect AI infrastructure demand, with Dell booking $60.9 billion in AI server orders in a single quarter and SanDisk's data center revenue growing 437%.
  • The fund's transformation suggests the 'blue-chip' label no longer accurately describes OEF, which has quietly become a slightly diluted cousin of Invesco QQQ Trust concentrated in technology.
  • For investors seeking broad exposure, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF offers a cheaper option at four times lower fees than OEF, while those desiring deeper tech conviction might prefer Invesco QQQ Trust.
