Did you know icon

Did you know?

The Communication Services sector was created by S&P in 2018 when it reclassified Alphabet (Google), Meta (Facebook), and Netflix from the Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors — making it one of the youngest major sectors in the S&P 500. Today, this sector spans an unusual range of business models: traditional telecoms companies with regulated infrastructure, streaming entertainment platforms, social media networks, and interactive gaming — all grouped together under the broad umbrella of 'communications'. The sector's largest constituents generate the majority of their revenue from digital advertising, making their earnings highly sensitive to global advertising cycles and e-commerce trends.
