SpaceX is preparing to join the Nasdaq 100 index as of next July 7, in a move that is expected to attract billions of dollars in passive investments into the company’s stock, according to what was confirmed by the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, in a development that strengthens the presence of Elon Musk’s space and artificial intelligence company in the financial markets.
Reuters reported that the company’s inclusion in the index, which includes the largest technology companies listed on the US market, will prompt ETFs and index funds that track the performance of the Nasdaq 100 to automatically buy SpaceX shares, which gives the stock additional support.
JP Morgan Bank estimated that the company’s inclusion in the index would lead to negative investment flows of about $4.3 billion.
The listing of SpaceX came only about a month after its initial public offering on June 12, after Nasdaq, along with the FTSE Russell and MSCI indices, relaxed some listing conditions, including profitability standards, the time period required after the offering, and the number of shares available for trading, with the aim of enhancing the attractiveness of the American markets for companies wishing to list.
Reuters noted that the company recorded volatile financial results over the past three years, as it moved between limited profits and large losses, while its net losses during the past year amounted to $4.9 billion, despite continued growth in revenues.
Michael Field, chief stock market strategist at Morningstar, said that the acceleration of SpaceX’s inclusion in the index reflects the large demand for the stock, adding: “It is clear that there is strong demand, and therefore its inclusion in the index has been accelerated.”
But at the same time, he pointed out that some fund managers do not share this optimism, saying: “We believe that the stock is valued higher than its fair value.”
On the other hand, S&P Global clarified earlier in June that it would not amend the rules for listing the company in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, stressing that it would not consider the possibility of including it before at least 12 months had passed from its listing on the stock exchange.
Reuters added that major artificial intelligence companies, such as OpenAI and Anthropic, are also preparing to offer their shares for public offering during the current or next year, with expectations that their market value will exceed one trillion dollars each, which may enhance the wave of major listings in the American technology sector.
