Google parent Alphabet will be added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average beginning Monday, the index’s operator, S&P Global, said Tuesday. The company represents the fifth of the so-called Magnificent Seven growth stocks to enter the price-weighted index, which has historically been less vulnerable to tech swings than the Nasdaq Composite Index or the S&P 500. “Adding Alphabet will broaden and strengthen the DJIA’s exposure to these dynamic areas of the U.S. economy,” S&P said in a written statement.

Alphabet will join the DJIA and Honeywell Aerospace, a spinoff from Honeywell International, will join the S&P 500.

The change will take effect before the market opens on June 29, said S&P Dow Jones Indices, which manages the index.
