🚨 SpaceX Index Inclusion Timeline
1️⃣ Nasdaq-100 Inclusion Potential
Under Nasdaq’s mega-cap IPO fast-track rule, SpaceX could become eligible for Nasdaq-100 inclusion about 15 trading days after its listing.
Based on its June 12 listing date, the first key checkpoint would be around early July.
If SpaceX is added to the Nasdaq-100, ETFs and index funds tracking the index, including QQQ and QQQM, would need to buy SpaceX according to its index weight.
2️⃣ S&P 500 Inclusion Potential
S&P 500 inclusion is much harder to achieve quickly compared to the Nasdaq-100.
The S&P 500 does not look at market cap alone. It also considers minimum trading history, public float, and GAAP profitability requirements.
The key requirement is especially important: positive GAAP earnings in the most recent quarter and positive cumulative GAAP earnings over the last four quarters.
Since SpaceX recorded a net loss in 2025, near-term S&P 500 inclusion appears difficult.
Therefore, the earliest realistic checkpoint would likely be after June 2027, while a more reasonable inclusion window may be the second half of 2027 to 2028.
