    SpaceX Added to Nasdaq-100; Analysts Issue Bullish Post-Quiet Period Ratings

    Question

    SpaceX Added to Nasdaq-100; Analysts Issue Bullish Post-Quiet Period Ratings

    Direct answer

    SpaceX's entry into the Nasdaq-100 marks a milestone for the largest IPO in history. While Wall Street is overwhelmingly bullish with a $250 median target, the company's fundamentals remain aggressive: a P/S ratio of 109 and a $25B bond issuance to fund its $60B Cursor acquisition. Passive funds are now forced buyers, but historical precedents (like Snowflake) suggest that the initial hype may lead to a period of flat returns as the market digests the massive valuation and capital expenditure requirements ($20.7B in 2026).
