Extended read
SpaceX's rapid inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 created a massive liquidity event, requiring index funds to purchase $4.3 billion in shares. However, the stock's 6% decline on the inclusion day suggests that active managers and early investors used the passive bid as an exit window. The stock had surged 67% in its first three weeks, reaching a peak of $226 before this pullback.
