Extended read
SpaceX's entry into the Nasdaq-100 marks a major milestone for the private-turned-public entity, forcing index-tracking funds to accumulate an estimated $4.3 billion in shares. However, the fundamental picture is mixed, with the company still reporting substantial annual losses and trading at an extreme valuation multiple. Traders are eyeing the July 7 inclusion date for a liquidity spike, but caution is warranted as an August lock-up expiration looms, which could release a significant supply of shares into the market.
