NASDAQ

Type: Company

Overview

NASDAQ changed its index-inclusion rules effective May 1, 2026, allowing a company as large as SpaceX to join the NASDAQ 100 after just 15 trading days instead of the previous months-long waiting period. The new rules weight the company by total market cap rather than by its freely tradable float, amplifying the mandatory buying pressure on index funds. SpaceX reportedly negotiated this fast-track rule as a condition of listing on NASDAQ.
