Chime Financial (CHYM) will join the S&P MidCap 400, taking the place of NorthWestern Energy Group (NWE) effective before the market opens on November 18, 2026. The change follows Black Hills Corp.’s acquisition of NorthWestern, which is expected to close on November 13, 2026. Chime reported Q3 earnings of $0.11 per share on $718 million revenue and its shares rose about 1.8% after hours.
