Nasdaq Speeds Index Path for SpaceX-Sized IPOs

Source: bloomberg.com

Nasdaq eased its index inclusion rules so major companies like SpaceX can join important stock indexes right after their initial public offerings. SpaceX, Elon Musk's rocket company, is preparing a huge IPO that could value it at $135 billion or more. The change cuts the waiting period, letting these firms get into indexes faster and draw billions in passive investment. It matters because it smooths the path for blockbuster tech IPOs in a market hungry for growth stocks.
