Could SpaceX Surge When It Joins the Nasdaq-100? Maybe, but History Says the Bounce Won't Last.

Have you considered buying shares of Space Exploration Technologies ( SPCX +2.83% ) ? Even if you haven't, you could soon own a stake in the high-profile company. On Tuesday, July 7, 2026, millions of Americans will become SpaceX investors -- whether they wanted to or not. SpaceX will be included in the Nasdaq-100 index only 15 trading days after its initial public offering on June 12 -- the largest IPO in stock market history . Could the space stock surge when it joins the technology-heavy index? Maybe. Even if it does, history suggests the bounce won't last long. The logic is straightforward about why SpaceX's share price could enjoy a nice bump once the company is added to the Nasdaq-100. It's basically the law of supply and demand at work. This law states that if a product has high demand and low supply, its price will increase -- and vice versa. SpaceX's inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 will definitely boost demand for the stock. Every exchange-traded fund (ETF) and mutual fund that seeks to track the index will have to buy shares of SpaceX. The biggest of these funds is the Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 ( QQQ 1.73% ) . This fund has roughly $481 billion in assets under management. It's also the second most-traded ETF in the U.S.
