The Russell 1000 index will officially add ***** eX stock after the markets close on Friday. That means by Monday's open, the index will include Elon Musk's ***** e exploration company.
The index will add ***** eX so soon after its IPO thanks to a new rule that fast-tracks newly public companies after only five days of trading. The FTSE Russell will rebalance on Friday to include ***** eX stock. When this happens, the myriad ETFs and funds that track the index will automatically begin buying ***** eX stock to ensure they are aligned with the Russell 1000's new composition.
SpaceX stock is down nearly 2% on Thursday. The Russell 1000 ticked up about 0.3% on Thursday and is up 7.5% this year.
Shares of ***** eX soared around 25% last week, its first full week of trading, before falling over 17% this week, down over 30% from the June 16 peak of 225.64. SPCX stock has held above the $135 IPO price.
An initial spike in the stock price followed by a pullback is common for newly public companies. Often, after a volatile start to life on the public markets, a stock will then consolidate by moving sideways, forming an IPO base. Once that happens, investors interested in the stock may consider buying.
