SpaceX (SPCX) Nasdaq-100 Weight Increase: What Can It Bring To SPCX Stock?

SpaceX (SPCX) will see its Nasdaq-100 Index weighting more than double from 1.28% to 2.82% on September 21, 2026, due to increased tradable shares post-IPO lock-up expirations. This adjustment may drive passive fund inflows, potentially impacting SPCX stock. The company's market cap is over $2.07 trillion, and the rebalance could generate $15.5B-$22B in passive buying, though long-term performance depends on business execution.
