I know when you have "either/or" with multiple subjects, verb is singular. What happens when you have multiple subjects joined by just "OR", will it be a singular verb or will it depend on the subject closest to the verb?

Actually if you have a compound subject accompanied by or/nor, the noun tense closest to the verb determines the verb tense.

Yes we have to look for the subject closer to the verb over here.
Since companies is closer to verb and companies is plural subject, verb form needs to be plural as well.
Hence correct sentence should be -
The NASDAQ and S&P 500 companies have 5% annual return.
Since companies is closer to verb and companies is plural subject, verb form needs to be plural as well.
Hence correct sentence should be -
The NASDAQ and S&P 500 companies have 5% annual return.
