Three companies will be added, namely Palantir, MicroStrategy, and Axon.
On Saturday, the NASDAQ 100 Index announced the annual component stock adjustment results, which will add three companies: Palantir, MicroStrategy, and Axon.
Previously, the market expected that leading companies in terms of Market Cap, such as Palantir Technologies, MicroStrategy, Equinix, CME Group, Interactive Brokers, and Coinbase Global, would be eligible for inclusion.
Being included in the NASDAQ 100 Index will have a significant impact on listed companies. Although the scale of the index products and ETFs based on the NASDAQ 100 is not as large as that of the S&P 500 Index, its market influence should not be underestimated—once a company is included in the index, it often leads to considerable stock price increases due to passive buying by index funds and ETF managers.
Unlike the s&p 500 index, which uses multidimensional evaluation criteria such as market cap, profitability, and industry classification, the constituents of the Nasdaq index are primarily adjusted based on market cap performance.
