But the Dow's composition has changed dramatically over time.</p><p>There are only 30 Dow components, compared to hundreds in the <strong>S&P 500</strong> and thousands in the <strong>Nasdaq Composite</strong>. With so few seats, each Dow member effectively serves as a representative of a <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/">stock market sector</a>. The components have changed to mirror the evolving economy, with the addition of <strong>Nvidia</strong> <span class="ticker" data-id="204770">(NASDAQ: NVDA)</span>, <strong>Sherwin-Williams</strong>, <strong>Amazon</strong>, <strong>Salesforce</strong>, <strong>Amgen</strong>, and <strong>Honeywell International</strong> over the last six years and the deletion of <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/05/11/intel-nvidia-ai-growth-stock-dow-jones/"><strong>Intel</strong></a>, <strong>Dow Inc.</strong>, Walgreens Boots Alliance, <strong>ExxonMobil</strong>, <strong>Pfizer</strong>, and <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/05/16/rtx-honeywell-stock-dow-jones-industrial-average/"><strong>RTX</strong></a>.</p><p>So while investors typically associate Dow stocks with stodgy, low-growth dividend payers, the index has modernized to include a blend of growth, income, and value stocks.</p><p><a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/05/26/3-blue-chip-dow-jones-dividend-stocks-buy/?source=iedfolrf0000001">Continue reading</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Meet the Company Taking on SpaceX and Tesla -- It Could Be Worth More Than Both Combined by 2027</h1> <p>newsfeedback@fool.com (Adam Levy) — Tue, 26 May 2026 02:30:00 -0400</p> <p>There's a growing expectation that <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/how-to-invest/famous-investors/elon-musk-investments/">Elon Musk</a> will eventually combine all his businesses under a single entity.</p><p>Earlier this year, he oversaw the merger of <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/how-to-invest/stocks/how-to-invest-in-spacex-stock/">SpaceX</a> and xAI, the latter of which had previously acquired his social media company, X (formerly Twitter). The next step of combining SpaceX and <strong>Tesla</strong> <span class="ticker" data-id="224257">(NASDAQ: TSLA)</span> may be a bit more difficult, but it's still well within reason.

We'll look at three of those energy companies today; one is in fact a <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/types-of-stocks/dividend-stocks/dividend-kings/">Dividend King</a> that has increased its payout consecutively for over 52 years, while the two other companies are on the path to earning that title.

At a market cap of around $84 billion, it's not an absurd valuation for a cryptocurrency with real institutional relationships and a functioning payments network. The price shouldn't be considered a serious impediment for anyone considering buying the coin today.</p><p>The problem is what you're actually buying. Ripple, the company that issues XRP and builds the infrastructure around it, has assembled a cohort of over 300 financial institutions to do business on its RippleNet and, by extension, the XRP Ledger (XRPL). But the link between that network's growth and the coin delivering returns to its holders is much weaker than it appears.
