1. Fast-Track Nasdaq-100 Inclusion
Space Exploration Technologies priced its IPO at $135 on June 12 and will join the Nasdaq-100 before July 7 under new rules requiring just 15 trading days of public trading. This marks one of the fastest inclusions for any listing.
2. Expected Passive Inflows
After markets close on July 6, funds and ETFs tied to the Nasdaq-100 will begin acquiring SpaceX shares, driving an estimated $4.3 billion in passive inflows. SpaceX’s index allocation is projected to stay below 1%.
3. S&P 500 Ineligibility and Financials
SpaceX remains ineligible for the S&P 500 due to requirements for a full year of trading history and GAAP profitability. The company reported a $4.94 billion net loss on $18.67 billion revenue in 2025 and maintains a dual-class share structure giving CEO Elon Musk roughly 82.4% voting power.
