The S&P 500 holds a 9.6% year-to-date gain in 2026, yet 30 of its members have fallen more than 30%. The list of laggards, led by CoStar Group and Intuit, exposes how uneven this year’s advance has been beneath the headline number.
The S&P 500 carries a 9.6% year-to-date gain in 2026, but the index has not set a new all-time high since June 2. Beneath that gain, a large group of components has dragged on the broader average.
The breadth problem behind the gain
Of the 500 stocks in the index, 182 are trading in negative territory for the year. More striking, 30 names have declined more than 30%, a sign of pronounced weakness in an otherwise resilient market. These pockets of decline show how uneven the 2026 rally has been.
Who leads the losers
CoStar Group tops the list, down 58.7% year-to-date. Intuit follows at -56.9%, then Boston Scientific at -55.1%. Trade Desk and Accenture round out the five worst, falling 49.6% and 49.1% respectively.
The declines reach well-known names further down the list. Adobe sits down 36.4% and Salesforce down 36.2%, while Oracle has dropped 33.3%. Consumer brands appear too, with Nike off 32% and Lululemon down 43.4%.
At the bottom edge of the group, Autodesk and Abbott Laboratories each sit down 30%, marking the threshold for inclusion on the list.
