SpaceX (SPACEX) Fast-Tracked to Nasdaq-100 Index Inclusion

SpaceX (SPACEX) has been fast-tracked for inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 index, marking one of the quickest additions ever after its recent public debut on June 12. The announcement was made after market close on July 6, with trading expected to begin on July 7. This change is significant as more than $800 billion tracks the Nasdaq-100 index, prompting a wave of buying from passive investors. Despite entering with a weighting of less than 1%, the demand from index-tracking funds could result in substantial purchases due to SpaceX's limited public float in comparison to its market cap.
