Three companies—AppLovin Corporation (APP), EMCOR Group Inc. (EME), and Robinhood Markets Inc. (HOOD)—are set to be added to the S&P 500 on September 22, marking a significant milestone for each company. The S&P 500, launched on March 4, 1957, has been the premier market-cap-weighted stock index for nearly 70 years, serving as a key benchmark for institutional investors globally.
EMCOR Group has seen a 186% rise since being added to the Growth Investor Portfolio on August 25, 2023. AppLovin gained nearly 79% since its recommendation on February 28, 2024. Robinhood is up about 10% since its addition on August 29, 2025. All three stocks are expected to gain further visibility and institutional buying pressure following their index inclusion.
The S&P 500 is widely regarded as a proxy for the U.S. economy. Inclusion typically leads to increased investment from mutual funds and pension plans, enhancing the companies’ market positions.
