    SpaceX IPO Forces Nasdaq-100 Rebalance; Passive Funds Trim Apple and Microsoft

    Question

    SpaceX IPO Forces Nasdaq-100 Rebalance; Passive Funds Trim Apple and Microsoft

    Direct answer

    The inclusion of SpaceX in major indices is creating a technical headwind for the 'Magnificent Seven.' Because passive funds must mirror the index, the rapid inclusion of a high-valuation newcomer like SpaceX requires the proportional sale of existing heavyweights. Despite the technical support from index buying, SpaceX's fundamental outlook remains controversial. With an estimated $84 billion annual capital requirement and no FCF expected for nearly a decade, the stock is becoming a battleground for growth vs. value investors.
