SpaceX Shares Slide on First Day of Nasdaq-100 Inclusion Amid Broader Market Weakness
SPCX is trading near its 52-week low of $147.11 (2.3% above the low) on light trading volume (0.3× avg).
Summary
SpaceX was officially included in the Nasdaq-100 index, a significant market milestone. However, its shares slid on the first day of inclusion, contributing to a broader decline in the Nasdaq Composite. This event follows SpaceX's highly anticipated IPO in June, which saw its valuation surge to nearly $3 trillion. The negative market reaction to an otherwise positive index inclusion is notable, especially as the stock is trading near its 52-week low.
At the time of this announcement, SPCX was trading at $150.48 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $2T. The 52-week trading range was $147.11 to $225.64.
