SpaceX to join Nasdaq-100 on July 7 after 15 trading days
Shares rose nearly 4.5% to about $161 ahead of the fast-track inclusion, which follows SpaceX’s June 12 listing and could drive roughly $4.3 billion in passive fund demand despite valuation concerns.
Every claim element is corroborated by primary news reporting. Reuters confirms Nasdaq's June 27 confirmation of the July 7 Nasdaq-100 addition, the $4.3 billion J.P. Morgan passive inflow estimate, the June 12 listing, and Morningstar's overvaluation warning. CNBC confirms the new Nasdaq fast-track rules allowing eligibility after 15 trading days and the July 7 inclusion. BlockBeats independently repeats the same figures.
SpaceX (SPCX) is set to enter the Nasdaq-100 on July 7, less than a month after its June 12 listing, under revised Nasdaq rules that made some large IPOs eligible after 15 trading days. Ahead of the inclusion, the stock rose nearly 4.5% to around $161 on Monday as investors positioned for expected buying by index-tracking funds. JPMorgan estimated about $4.3 billion in passive inflows tied to the index addition, while Morningstar's chief equity strategist said the shares appear overvalued after the company posted a $4.9 billion net loss last year. The advance came even as Citadel Securities warned that rising risks could temper the broader AI-driven market rally.
