Nasdaq-100 (QQQ) price, 1999 to 2026

Nasdaq-100 (QQQ) closed at $725.51 as of July 2026, down 1.5 percent from the prior period. The window runs from March 1999 and spans a low of $20.72 (September 2002) and a high of $738.31 (May 2026).

How it is measured

The series is the monthly closing price of QQQ, the exchange-traded fund tracking the Nasdaq-100's largest non-financial companies, from Twelve Data's market feed. Because the fund holds the index's stocks, its price tracks the index almost exactly at a fraction of the index's numerical level, and it trades all day like any share. A price series is not total return: dividends are paid out along the way, so long-run investor returns exceed what the price line alone shows.

What the curve shows

Price charts reward reading structure rather than points: the drawdowns mark the crises, the flat years mark the doubt, and the slope between them is the compounding. Over this window the price rose roughly 14-fold. Held against an index, a single fund's line shows how much of its story is the market's and how much is its own.
