Nike Confirms Continued Inclusion in S&P 500 Despite Removal from S&P 100
Nike Inc.'s investor relations team has clarified that the company will remain part of the S&P 500 Index despite being removed from the narrower S&P 100. The change, effective September 21, marks Nike's first removal from the S&P 100 in nearly 18 years and is due to a sustained decline in its stock price. Shares have fallen over 40% this year, with market capitalization dropping significantly since November 2021. The index rebalancing also affects Honeywell Aerospace Inc., Simon Property Group, and Colgate-Palmolive Co., who are being replaced by Dell Technologies Inc., Palo Alto Networks Inc., Arista Networks Inc., and Sandisk Corp. While the change does not impact Nike's business operations or public listing status, it may influence passive fund activity due to rebalancing requirements. Nike’s continued presence in the S&P 500 is seen as a stabilizing factor for investors who hold large ETFs tracking that index.
