SpaceX's Nasdaq-100 Weighting More Than Doubles
Starting September 21, SpaceX (SPCX) has more than doubled its weighting in the Nasdaq-100 index. This adjustment follows a significant increase in publicly tradable shares of the company, allowing for greater representation that aligns with its large market capitalization. The increased weight means passive funds tracking the Nasdaq-100 must now hold significantly more SpaceX stock than before. With over 200 investment products tied to this index—including QQQ—this change could drive additional demand and influence near-term price movements for SPCX shares, especially after a volatile post-IPO period. Despite its strong market cap of around $2 trillion, the company initially had only a small public float due to lockup restrictions. Recent unlock events have increased available shares from 1.55 billion to approximately 1.8 billion, enabling this substantial increase in index weight.
