SpaceX Shares Expected to Rise After Nasdaq 100 Index Rebalancing
SpaceX's stock, currently trading within a narrow range, is expected to see increased buying pressure following the Nasdaq 100 Index's upcoming quarterly rebalancing. The index calculates company weightings based on market value, considering either total outstanding shares or three times free-floating shares, whichever is lower. Due to lockup restrictions, SpaceX's free float has been limited but recently increased to nearly 30%, potentially raising its Nasdaq 100 weighting from 1.25 to 2.25. This change could prompt significant passive buying from index funds and ETFs tracking the index.
