Upcoming Nasdaq-100 Inclusion on July 7
SpaceX will be added to the Nasdaq-100 index on July 7, which may prompt a surge in stock price due to funds needing to acquire shares to mirror the index’s performance. With a market capitalization of around $1 trillion, SpaceX qualifies under the new fast-track criteria allowing quicker inclusion. This addition typically results in significant buying activity that could benefit investors who purchase shares ahead of the date.
