SpaceX set to join Nasdaq 100, paving way for wave of passive buying

J.P. Morgan estimates the move could draw $4.3 billion in passive inflows as funds that track the index buy SpaceX shares.

  • On Friday, Nasdaq confirmed it will add SpaceX to its Nasdaq-100 index on July 7, enabling ETFs to purchase shares of Elon Musk's rocket and AI giant, likely boosting its stock price.
  • To attract U.S. listings, Nasdaq recently relaxed entry requirements including profitability and post-IPO waiting periods, while index providers FTSE Russell and MSCI adopted similar changes to accommodate high-growth tech firms.
  • Morgan estimated the inclusion could draw roughly $4.3 billion in passive inflows; however, Morningstar's Michael Field warned the stock remains overvalued, noting SpaceX swung between losses and profits recently.
  • Meanwhile, Wall Street's benchmark index providers confirmed this month they will wait at least 12 months before considering SpaceX, reflecting divergent risk appetites among providers regarding recently listed, high-growth companies.
  • Large Language Model makers OpenAI and Anthropic are expected to file for initial public offerings this year or next, targeting valuations of more than $1 trillion, as relaxed entry requirements could facilitate their future index inclusion.
