SpaceX blocked from early US benchmark index entry as S&P reaffirms existing rules
S&P kept its profitability test for major indexes, blocking a fast-track path for SpaceX while leaving ETFs to absorb any future additions.
- On Thursday, S&P Global declined to modify entry requirements for the benchmark S&P 500 index, effectively ruling out swift inclusion for Elon Musk's SpaceX ahead of its expected June 12 public debut.
- Standard S&P rules mandate companies maintain profitability across the most recent four quarters and complete a one-year 'seasoning period' before index eligibility, a requirement known as 'financial viability.'
- Conversely, Nasdaq and FTSE Russell adopted 'fast-entry' rules for newly public megacaps. Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth, said making exceptions for unprofitable companies 'didn't make a great deal of sense.'
- While excluded from the S&P 500, SpaceX remains eligible for the S&P Total Market Index and Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index after S&P Global modified entry rules for these broader benchmarks.
- Investors anticipate massive IPOs from SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI, which combined for losses exceeding $25 billion last year. SpaceX is valued between $1 trillion and $2 trillion ahead of its June 12 public debut.
