How fast are these companies growing, and how expensive are they?
The median revenue-growth rate among the 103 large-caps WealthyBud tracks is 7.7% year over year, with a median return on equity of 20.9% across the 95 with an ROE figure. The median price-to-earnings ratio among the 98 covered stocks with a P/E is 29.4, above multpl.com’s index-level S&P 500 P/E of 26.04 for September 2026, a different measure.
13. Median revenue growth: 7.7%
The median year-over-year revenue growth rate among the 103 covered companies is 7.7%, computed from each company’s latest and prior fiscal-year revenue (WealthyBud data · 103 large-caps).
14. Median return on equity: 20.9%
The median return on equity — net income divided by shareholder equity — across the 95 companies with an ROE figure is 20.9% (WealthyBud data · 95 of 103 large-caps · 2026-10-02). ABBV, BKNG, DELL, LOW, MCD, MO, PM, and SBUX have negative shareholder equity, so ROE is not meaningful for them.

Among the 98 covered stocks with a P/E, the median is 29.4; 4 profitable companies (CMCSA, FDX, HON, and SPGI) have their P/E withheld because their latest fiscal-year earnings predate a spin-off, and 1 company (INTC) posted a net loss. multpl.com’s S&P 500 P/E, which it describes as “based on trailing twelve month ‘as reported’ earnings”, was 26.04 for September 2026, a month multpl.com marks as an estimate. That is one ratio for the whole index, not a median of company ratios (WealthyBud data · 2026-10-02).
16. S&P 500 (via SPY) 1-year total return: 22.31%
SPY, the ETF that tracks the S&P 500, posted a 22.31% total return over the trailing 12 months and closed at $754.95 on July 10, 2026, per stockanalysis.com.

What this means for investors
Concentration is real. The 5 largest companies WealthyBud tracks hold 43.3% of the group’s combined market cap, and the top 10 hold 57.2% — a handful of names move the average far more than the median company does.
Index valuation gauges sit above their own history. The Buffett Indicator was 244% of GDP on June 30, 2026, and the S&P 500 P/E of 26.04 for September 2026 is about 1.6 times its 16.23 long-run mean. WealthyBud’s 29.4 median P/E describes the typical covered company, not the cap-weighted index.
Nearly all covered companies are profitable, with 102 of 103 posting positive net income; 92 of the 103 with two years of revenue grew it, at a median 7.7% rate across all of them. The median company is far smaller ($190.2B) than the combined figure suggests.
This dataset is a slice, not the whole market. WealthyBud’s 103 large-caps account for about 70% of the S&P 500’s combined market value, and the S&P 500 itself leaves out smaller listed companies, so figures here are a large-cap snapshot rather than a total-market statistic.
