According to CNBC, SpaceX stock closed at $201.68 on its third trading day (June 14), after debuting at $135 per share on June 12. The stock peaked above $225 earlier in the day, briefly giving the company a market capitalization larger than Amazon's $2.65 trillion.
Nasdaq and FTSE Russell accelerated index-inclusion rules for SpaceX, allowing the stock to enter popular indexes within weeks instead of the traditional year-long seasoning period. This fast-track change has opened a concentrated buying window for passive index funds tracking these benchmarks before SpaceX's float increases through lock-up expirations, according to the analysis.
