May 14

Expert perspective

May 14
Despite its low 5% float, SpaceX is set to receive accelerated entry into the NASDAQ 100 index.
Expert perspective
Dave Noddig
May 14
NASDAQ has changed its rules to allow very large companies to be included in the NASDAQ 100 index just 15 days after their IPO, down from the previous waiting period of six months.
Expert perspective
Dave Noddig
May 14
Under its new rules, NASDAQ will treat a company with a 5% float, like SpaceX, as if it has a 15% float for weighting purposes in the NASDAQ 100 index.
Expert perspective

May 14
The NASDAQ 100 index is not free-float adjusted, unlike most other major market indexes.
Expert perspective
Dave Noddig
May 14
Index funds tracking the NASDAQ 100 will be forced to buy approximately $7 billion worth of SpaceX stock on the day of its inclusion.
Expert perspective
Dave Noddig
May 14
If SpaceX's float increases from 5% to 15% at the six-month mark, NASDAQ is expected to increase its effective weighting in the NASDAQ 100 from 15% to 45% due to the 3x multiplier rule.
Speculative
Dave Noddig
May 14
SpaceX plans to float only 5% of its stock in its initial public offering.
Expert perspective
Dave Noddig
May 14

Speculative
Dave Noddig
May 14
SpaceX holds a near-monopoly on space launch services in the United States.

Dave Noddig
May 14

Expert perspective

A study on Vanguard's CRSP indexes, which have an accelerated five-day inclusion rule for IPOs, concluded that this practice is detrimental to investor returns.
Expert perspective
Dave Noddig
May 14
Institutional investors typically use MSCI indexes, which have static and carefully adjudicated rule books that are not expected to change.
Expert perspective
Dave Noddig
May 14
Academic research suggests that including IPOs in an index shortly after they go public is detrimental to the returns of existing index investors.
Expert perspective
Dave Noddig
May 14
During the dot-com era, the average post-IPO valuation of a company was approximately $120 million.
Expert perspective
Dave Noddig
May 14
