6/29/2026

Summary

SpaceX Joins Nasdaq-100

SpaceX will join the Nasdaq-100 on July 7, 2026 at market open.
After its June 12, 2026 IPO priced at $135, SpaceX raised about $75 billion, reported proceeds of $85.7 billion, closed with a market cap above $2 trillion, and peaked near $161.
Nasdaq’s new rule lets top-40 firms enter after 15 days, so index funds must buy SpaceX shares before July 7, potentially creating a $22 billion inflow and reshaping the index’s weighting.
