Applied Materials, Chipotle, and Zoetis Added to SPHQ ETF
What happened
On October 17, 2026, several companies were added to the Invesco S&P 500 Quality ETF (SPHQ). The report notes that only four companies—Applied Materials, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Fortinet, and Zoetis—appear in all three quality ETFs: SPHQ, QUAL, and MOAT. SPHQ selects its 100 stocks based on accounting tests, including return on equity and accruals ratio.
