A $1.8 trillion debut could force passive funds to chase scarce shares, distorting valuations upon NASDAQ inclusion.
SpaceX plans a June 12, 2026 NASDAQ listing at a $1.75 to $1.8 trillion valuation, creating a potential supply shock. The company’s 366-day lock-up on all founder shares will limit float, ranking it 195th in the S&P 500 by adjusted float size.
Index funds, bound by rules to replicate benchmarks, may face forced buying at elevated prices. Alphabet’s recent 8% pullback highlights rebalancing pressures ahead of the $330 billion equity wave.
Analysts warn the deliberate scarcity could mimic a short squeeze, with passive investors driving demand regardless of fundamentals.
