Elon Musk’s SpaceX may soon hold an IPO valued at $1.75 trillion, potentially one of the largest ever. Reports indicate Musk is pushing for early entry into the Nasdaq-100 index, which usually requires a waiting period of 12 months post-IPO. A new proposed “Fast Entry” procedure would allow companies meeting certain criteria to join the index within as little as a month.
This early inclusion could stimulate significant buying pressure on SpaceX shares from institutional investors, potentially stabilizing the stock price post-IPO. Both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 are evaluating rule adjustments to accommodate Musk’s requests, which could greatly enhance investor sentiment around the upcoming IPO.
