For my view: The index rebalance is mainly a short-term event.
The most important point is:
SpaceX (SPCX) gets a much higher Nasdaq-100 weight → index funds may need to buy more shares.
This can create short-term buying pressure.
But it does not mean the company suddenly became more valuable or profitable.
Some of the buying may already be priced in before September 21.
After the rebalance, the buying pressure can disappear.
What should investors watch?
Short term: Fund flows and trading volume.
Long term: Revenue, profit, cash flow and business growth.
Simple rule:
Index inclusion = possible short-term boost.
Strong fundamentals = long-term value.
So I would not buy a stock only because it entered an index. Look at the company's actual business first.
