The rapid inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 was due, in part, to the exchange&#8217;s revised rules for new public companies to become part of that widely-tracked benchmark.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"anp-pro-inline-figure\" style=\"margin:1.5em auto;text-align:center;max-width:min(100%,720px)\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"anp-pro-inline-img\" src=\"https:\/\/newsdailyhub.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/108332107-17835206111783520608-47035883612-1080pnbcnews.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"display:block;margin:0 auto;max-width:100%;height:auto;object-fit:contain;object-position:center\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">The SpaceX inclusion also required index funds and exchange-traded funds that are tied to the benchmark to buy shares of the company in order to match the new lineup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">SpaceX&#8217;s record initial public offering raised a total of $85.7 billion after underwriters exercised the &#8220;greenshoe&#8221; overallotment, which allows companies to issue more shares in an IPO when there is greater demand from participants during the initial offering. SpaceX initially offered 555.6 million shares for a set price of $135 each.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">The stock soared in the days following its debut, notching a closing high of $201.80 on June 16.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Mostly bullish analyst ratings followed the inclusion into the Nasdaq-100.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"anp-pro-inline-figure\" style=\"margin:1.5em auto;text-align:center;max-width:min(100%,720px)\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"anp-pro-inline-img\" src=\"https:\/\/newsdailyhub.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/108331716-17834572161783457213-47020708219-1080pnbcnews.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"display:block;margin:0 auto;max-width:100%;height:auto;object-fit:contain;object-position:center\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Morgan Stanley initiated coverage, rating shares of SpaceX as &#8220;overweight&#8221; with a price target of $300.

UBS initiated with a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating and 12-month price target of $210 per share.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Bulls pointed to the company&#8217;s lead in reusable rocket technologies and launch services, its vast Starlink satellite internet service and the potential to improve the margins for both of these businesses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">For growth, analysts pointed to SpaceX&#8217;s potential to develop artificial intelligence products and services ranging from agentic coding tools to rival Anthropic&#8217;s Claude or OpenAI&#8217;s Codex and the development of orbital data centers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">In the more skeptical minority, MoffettNathanson initiated coverage of SpaceX with a neutral rating, and CFRA recommended selling shares.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Get this delivered to your inbox, and more info about our products and services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Data is a real-time snapshot *Data is delayed at least 15 minutes.
