S&P 500 Value Index

Direct answer

The S&P 500 Value Index is a subset of the S&P 500 that holds companies with the highest value scores based on three factors: book value to price, earnings to price, and sales to price. It is one of two style indexes derived from the S&P 500 alongside the Growth Index, and companies with mixed style characteristics may be split across both. Value stocks tend to trade at lower multiples than the broader market and historically perform better during economic recoveries and rising-rate environments.

The S&P 500 Value Index measures the value-style portion of the S&P 500 using book value, earnings and sales relative to price. In the standard style series, partial overlap with Growth is allowed.

Render the current official constituent/allocation list with company, ticker, sector, sub-industry, Value allocation factor, Value index weight, overlap status, effective date, prior classification and canonical company link. Include search, filters, sector concentration, top-weight analysis and change history.

A Value label is not proof of undervaluation; ratios can also become “cheaper” when fundamentals deteriorate.
